A hybrid yellow MP SD40-2 leads a WP GP40-2 and four more units, two in MP blue, and two in Armour yellow.

ATSF GP30 sits at the station, with UP's station in the distance. UP's station was a union station, serving UP (Kansas Pacific), ATSF, MP and CRI&P.

On what I believe is one of the last runs, the GLE (or American Orient Express) heads west on the former Central of Georgia toward Birmingham. Once the route of some important midwest-Florida str... (more)

I think the Mountaineer was one of those trains where Senators and Congressmen from along the route threw their weight around to establish/continue a service that might have been hard to justify b... (more)

It might be impossible to make an E8A ugly, but PC and Amtrak came close with 275. It is - I believe - a little unusual in that it has an Amtrak number, but nothing about 'Amtrak' anywhere. PC's... (more)

In the early 1970s, not a lot of pool power came through Montgomery other than SP/SSW units on L&N 72/73. Oddly enough, though, SP/SSW units did occasionally show up on SCL trains on the former S... (more)

A somewhat unusual Sunday extra is about to leave PC and head for Dothan behind 509, SD40 506, SD9s 503 and 504, and GP39 507. Pretty big-time power for an 82-mile railroad.

A sb loaded coal train behind UP power waits on the main for a nb freight to clear on the KCS Shreveport-KC line.

Employees chat during the crew change at Montgomery. One of only two times that I saw four SDPs on Floridian. Guess they were ferrying SDPs to Florida.

A grain train rolls down the valley alongside Shoal Creek. That odd-looking contraption is a high-water warning signal.

A pair of B36-7s and a GP40 head up the old L&N toward Montgomery, where their container train will continue to Atlanta via the former West Point Route.

Dusty, weathered blue WT 40 transfers commuter service RDCs.

Ex-Seaboard System (originally delivered in May 1963 as L&N 1030) waits for the next workday at Hurtsboro. Before coming to Pine Belt, 3059 worked for Abernathy's Columbia and Silver Creek in Mis... (more)

A lot of second-generation geeps look alike, so you could easily overlook this rare gem. ASAB 507 is the only GP39 on their roster. That may not seem like a big deal, but it is also one of only 2... (more)

GP40s in the garbs of Georgia Southwestern and Indiana Southern work the mill in Dawson. Both are far from their origins, as 4028 started life on N&W, and 4051 was originally part of B&O's fleet.
