Len - Rather than Georgia Pacific, from the railroad reporting marks, looks more like its an old Georgia Railroad caboose. Not in bad shape for being out in the woods without any protection. Underframe may be missing though. Les |

Bob Hanson's book "History of the Georgia Railroad" (1996, The Overmountain Press) has a photo of Ga.RR 2827 looking suspiciously like the "Ga 2826" in the video. Says 2827 was acquired from the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. |

I wonder if anyone has ever published a list of what went where? Les |
