Still looking good in a fairly fresh early paint scheme.

Allegedly upgraded to 3000 HP but still looking exactly like its as-built U28C model, one of only four on the L&N and handed down via SBD.

Muzzled, second order unit.

Back in the good old days when we doing business here and could wander around at will. The first order of these were best. They came along before the government ruined that great GE chug.

EMD B unit 718 is lashed up with four Alco’s as L&N’s southbound freight arrives Corbin, Ky. on July 15, 1964 for a crew change.

The stack is capped on this ex-C&O unit but she was later repainted and worked into the 21st century. I am always amazed that other railroad's units show up on retired lists etc. in railfan publi... (more)

ACL only bought one SDP and this was it. It became SCL, then L&N, then SBD and wound up switching the yard in the coal country. How I would love to see a shot of this one in the glory days, hand... (more)

Though we weren't happy about the lack of engines, I think most railfans were happy that the new units had preserved "the greatest profile in dieseldom".

Another repaint of a former nee L&N, ex SBD unit which appears to have been repainted to SBD just prior to the CSX merger. I always have liked this paint scheme which is colorful, visible, distin... (more)

I posted another shot of this unit from the other side.
