Funny how you don't notice in a casual glance the difference in the schemes between former ACL and SAL units. A photo like this brings out the huge contrast in the stripes on the long-hood !

I always thought the higher stripes were just an early SCL scheme. Never occurred to me it was heritage-based. I'm slow. About 35 years slow.

Love these pictures. My father was a fireman for SAL in Greenwood in the early 1960`s.

Glad you like the shot. Greenwood was still a great place when I was there in late '70s, but must have really been something just a few years earlier before the mergers and abandonments started.

I think this is the P&N connection. I lived in Greenwood 1975-76 and my apartment, which was about a mile to the north, faced the P&N tracks. At the time, SCL ran two daily round trips from Maxwell Yard to Greenville. When I returned for a visit in 1982, the tracks were being torn up.
