Master mechanic for Southern's steam program, Bill Purdie, is at the controls of SR (T&P) 2-10-4 610 as the engine is turned at Charlottesville for the trip back to Alexandria.
Steam trapped between the cars gives an unusual effect.
T&P #610 prepares for an excursion on a drizzely day.
Meter gauge Baldwin 2-10-4 No. 305 hauls a load of coal toward Tubarao. The Teresa Cristina had identical engines built by Alco.
The EDDTC hauled coal from several mines to the port of Imbituba. This is a train of empties leaving Imbituba.
T&P 610 eases up the AGS main somewhere between B'ham and Attalla, Ala.
T&P 610 double-heads with SOU. 722 on a ferry run out of B'ham. Those were the days!
It is always a treat when they roll the big one out.
