The Kentucky& Tennessee switchers were bought from the D. & R.G.W. and served for many years here.

Great shot, Tom! I worked there for a time, and this is exactly as I remember it. The SD45 coming at us is on Track 2, while the cab of a northbound is visible on Track 1 in the background. It's a shame that classic depot at Stearns wasn't saved. And---one other little detail interesting to me (at least) is that MofW trailer. Those things used to be ubiquitous all around the Southern system. For overnight lodging for some exhausted track laborer, it was as about as minimal as it could get. Good luck getting any rest!
