Dates:1/1/2013 - 12/31/2013
Album Info:2013 was another year of interesting operations on the GWR. Traffic was at record levels with some weeks seeing over 700 cars handled!! Unit trains of Turbine blades, oil, corn and frac sand with run through power from BNSF, UP, NS, CSX were common. However, the GWR no longer rostered any locomotives lettered for the railroad. Lease units from Helm and GMTX handled the switching and locals. Enjoy this album of this unique railroad
