Posted by Dana M. on October 22, 2014  What an amazing piece of history you documented here Jimmy. Great information you provided about this locomotive's service history. A beautiful restoration as well, too bad they aren't restoring it to operate under it's own power - then the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum would have a true operating history display. Posted by Sid Vaught on October 22, 2014  This is a beautiful restoration. I sincerely hope the museum is going to protect its investment by putting this beauty under roof. Posted by Jimmy Summers on October 22, 2014  Thanks Dana! Posted by Jimmy Summers on October 22, 2014  Sid, currently the locomotive is in the shop out of the elements. Once it is out on permanent display it will be under a covering by the Calera depot. Posted by Tom Gorton on October 23, 2014  Different and beautiful! Very well worth the cost and effort to restore her. Posted by Steve Larson on October 25, 2014  This ALCO HH900 nearly resembles that of a Fairbanks Morse. This is a unique Locomotive, with a superior paint scheme. Thanks for the photo & information, Jimmy. Posted by G. Moore on January 11, 2015  Jimmy, thanks for the great photos as well as the accompanying information on this great, old switcher.
