Stored at Chattanooga shops.

Vickers was a hot place to be back in those days.
"Honorary buffalos" in homage to the real buffalo, the Alco C636. These units held down Z train and chemical trains from Freeport.
Rebuilt to -2 specs by ATSF from ex ATK SDP40Fs. "Honorary F45s"
Birmingham was a haven for 4 axle U and B boats of all lineage of CSX. I had a field day while I was there on business.
