Footboard, paint scheme, railroad and most of this old yard - all gone ! Very nice memory, David, made even better by the "elephant" style consist

Curious about what looks like a red rag jammed in engine room door of 525.

This picture was taken in front of the Day Street Gate of Maxwell AFB on the west side of Montgomery, AL. The building in the background right is the Piknik bread bakery, the track peeling off to the left runs/ran into the POL farm for Maxwell AFB. Bell Street runs adjacent to this trackage and becomes Birmingham Hwy/US Hwy 31 just behind the photographer. Dunno if this helps with the picture or not, but I grew up on this side of Montgomery (born in 83) and very much remember the area.

You nailed the location. Back in the '70s I shot from the overpass a few times with no problems. Doubt you could do that now. Not as much to see here these days...
