" Going Home"
"The Right Way"
During the early 1960's and before the interstate was constructed, locally owned and operated business flourished. There was nothing like the trip down the Old Dixie Highway. The smell of Georgia red clay and kudzu freshened the air after the rain. The beckoning call of the neon lights advertising a hotel room with air conditioning and a color t.v. was hard to resist.
But this time was different. A 1958 Chevy races a Central of Georgia Railroad freight train headed north to Americus,Georgia as they outpace a vicious thunderstorm.
Known for transporting kaolin and pulpwood, the Central Georgia Railroad served industries within the state and proudly connected the people with their products.
Peanuts. Pecans. Kaolin. Pulpwood...
"Georgia On My Mind".

"Keys to My Heart"
A Florida East Coast train travels north over the famous arched viaduct that connects the Florida Keys with the U.S. mainland.
Tourists, natives, family and friends relax and absorb what is near and dear while exploring and enjoying the outdoors. Tropical sunsets, abundant aquatic life with schooners in the background open the heart to a love for nature and a love for life.
