Indeed, that was probably one of the "Last of the Mohicans," David. For obvious reasons, this image really jumped out at me when I went through the morning's new additions to RP.net. Very nice! By the way, this is a former Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis unit. In her earlier years, since headed up the Dixie Flyer, Dixieland and Georgian passenger trains, as well as the Dixie Line's fast freight runs.

That's one bad-azz looking locomotive. No spiffed up Executive unit here!

David, Thanks for sharing this excellent picture. I saw 863 a few times in the 1968-1974 time frame on the Memphis to Nashville line. There were many L&N Fs (I saw over 50 different units) on the Memphis line during this period. They seemed to be finishing out some of their last days on this relatively level line.
