Central of Georgia - black offset side hoppers. The 1,800 mile CoG blanketed much of Georgia and eastern Alabama, serving most of the major cities in both states. From early in the 20th Century until 1948, the company was controlled by the Illinois Central (the two connected in Birmingham.) There followed a colorful decade and a half of independence although Frisco had a run at gaining control, and failed. In 1963, Central of Georgia became a subsidiary of the Southern Railway System. Locomotives received Southern’s tuxedo paint scheme but with CoG lettering. They still exist today as a paper railroad under the Norfolk Southern flag. This run will be available in 6 road numbers with “coal” loads.
