Georgia & Florida Railroad

In May of 2009, I received an e-mail from a man who had found our website, and this page in particular, and wrote to say that his grandfather had worked for the Georgia & Florida. Understandably, he is hoping one day to come across a G&F picture that shows his grandfather in the scene. He recalled:

I have no doubt that my grandfather rode the right side of the two engines you have on the G&F page. In 1948-49 time period he was a hostler in Augusta, and he probably took them both over to Augusta's Union Station on more than one occasion. Or, for all I know, he might've run them on the mainline. I remember him running to Greenwood ... before he slowed down because of age. I may have sat on the fireman's box myself, as he occasionally let me ride in the yard with him when no one was looking. I'd have been 8-9 years old at the time, and it was a BIG deal to go to work with my "Poppa". Thanks for the memories.
