Rock Springs

Southern Railroad #630 and #4501 steam by an abandoned general store in Rock Springs, GA. Tucked behind the 4501's tender is a diesel locomotive dead-in-tow, which was being brought back to its assigned home in LaFayette, GA after being used to rescue the excursion the previous evening. A massive fire at an abandoned carpet mill had blocked the tracks and the steamers had their fires banked during the long wait to conserve water.
