Remarks & Notes

A lone SD9 flying green flags heads west with a mainline local. This is an unusual shot in that, by 1972, Southern's six SD9s and lone SD7 (all inherited from C of G) were generally in captive service in Atlanta and Birmingham. It was also odd to see a road train with a single unit on the Birmingham-Columbus main in those days.
