Imagine my surprise finding a Georgia RR Geep painted in GA colors (or close enough) in the middle of South Alabama.  A three unit set brings in the grain cars for peanut loading in the head of summer

The red of the unmarked GP10 had faded to pink after a few years in the hot South Alabama sun.  This unit never got any markings other than a quickly fading coat of red.
