Westbound local
Title:  Westbound local
Description:  Train #167 (Albany GA to Dothan AL) at Hilton in 1980. Ironically the 2882 is now the Chattahoochee and Gulf 2882, the short line that recently took over this section on trackage from Hilton to Dothan. Therefore the 2882 from 1980 is back home in 2005...but with another owner.
