SCL Extra 618 North is working just north of La Crosse, Va handling a 72 car unit coal train enroute VEPCo's Wheelwright facility, just south of Richmond, Va. We find a mixture of SCL power today. SDP35 618 is followed by a GP30, a GP18, and a GP7, all still sporting the "split-image" paint scheme.
Photos taken in the Deep South--primarily Alabama and Georgia--from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Featured railroads include the ICG, the West Point Route, SCL, Southern, Frisco, and even KCS.
just as the 1970s were a good era in virginia railroading, the 1950s and 1960s were just as colorful as the 1970s were. this a tribute to the days of simple railroading and why it served as a basis of what it is today.
