Touring the Mississippi, Alabama & Gulf

Here are the F-units past Crandall's Store and Rosco's Engine Repair. The line crosses the Pearl River over the swing bridge and enters Mississippi at the Graves Pulp Mill. At Edna, engine number 4019 rolls by Shram Manufacturing and Collins Oil. This is downtown Edna. Soon, A-B-B-A set is behind Crocker Brothers' Feed Mill. Then it passes the Barnstead Lumber Company. And finally, Margaret Store appears on the outskirts of that. Here, the line runs through the Piney Woods which are long leaf yellow pines. The F3s create a pretty picture crossing the Jourdan River. This typical Mississippi scene is at the river bend trading post. Notice the acres of soybeans. The cows enjoy this pond at the Garlett's Farm. The F-units run under the Garlett's Bridge. This is the Kiln Baptist Church. Kiln is famous for the Hines Lumber Company sawmill. This sawmill processes hundreds of logs every day. The log pond keeps the mill supplied. Here's the Hines rock cut. Number 4019 crosses State Route 53 at Gray. The Wolf River is on the approach to Wharton. The line passes the pine belt meat-packing stock peels. The red building is the slaughter house. In the foreground are the section houses and a water tank. The four F-units roll by Anne's Antiques. And then the Dabler Feed Mill. The F3s run through downtown Wharton on the way to Meridia.
