South Eastern Easter April 09

Business meetings in New Orleans and Baton Rouge a few days before Easter provided the opportunity to use the long weekend to return home to Florida through LA, MS, AL and GA. Overnight stays in Pensacola, Baton Rouge, Monroe LA, Birmingham, Atlanta and Savannah afforded the chance to sample the interesting railroad scene in, around and between these Southeastern cities. The weather was gracious and springlike, for the most part, with only one day of overcast skies, and even that didn't detract much from the trip. An enjoyable Easter, indeed.

002 'McGuire's Irish Pub'.. Pensacola FL

Arriving Pensacola well after dark, I had hoped the morning would reveal some railroad activity around town, but I couldn't find any when I made the "rounds." I settled for a photo of McGuire's Irish Pub instead.

Although Pensacola didn't yield any Alabama & Gulf Coast activity, Mobile did. AGRR operates the former SLSF lines to Mobile and Pensacola. This power was at the AGRR's Mobile yard.
