Bremen, Georgia - an interesting track arrangement

[CraigZ]

I had reason to be in Bremen, GA earlier this week and discovered this really neat track arrangement.

 

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Bremen,+GA&hl=en&ll=33.720815,-85.148302&spn=0.008906,0.012263&sll=35.770436,-78.830308&sspn=0.556005,0.784836&oq=bremen,&hnear=Bremen,+Haralson+County,+Georgia&t=h&z=17

 

The primarily north/south line is ex Central of Georgia from Chattanooga TN to Macon GA; the east/west is the Southern from Atlanta, GA to Birmingham, AL.  I liked the diamond right there by the street; I loved the SOU/CofG connection track that runs thru that alley.  The Southern is the NS route west out of Atlanta and sees stack trains, coal trains, etc; I've seen coal trains on the CofG line as it crosses over the motorway south of Bremen.  Quite scenic and could make for interesting 'train exhibition' type operations of thru trains.

The ex C of G line from Bremen has coal traffic for Wansley power station using big 6 axle power and DPUs. From Wansley Junction , the line continues as far as Senoia to serve a Plastic factory (Winpak) , although there are other customers who also take traffic . NS runs local train G66 to Senoia a couple of times a week , normally powered by an SD40-2 and often only with one or two covered hoppers.

 

If you look up user "CSXQ614" on youtube , he's based in the area and has films of a lot of the traffic in the area.
