Look Ahead Look South
Southern Rwy 3170, the very first, is sitting outside of its new temporary home at the Tennessee Valley Railroad's East Chattanooga Shop, after staring in a night photo session for the Southern Railway Historical Association. The locomotive is going to go in for a major over haul which mean replacing the EMD 16-645-E3 prime mover, and getting it back into operation condition. Southern Railway 3170 was the very first of the SD40 delivered to the Southern Railway in 1971 which started a revolution of bigger Super Duty power that was going to be use on the Southern, and it's successor Norfolk Southern.
