The M-W-F eastbound local is leaving the combined L&N/SCL yard as it begins its trip down the Dothan Sub.

L&N's first GP30 (1000) and first GP35 (1100) team up on a local departing southbound from the combined L&N/SCL yard in Montgomery.

I believe UP 928 was leased by Amtrak, not purchased. At this point, the 23-year-old beauty is looking a little tattered.

One of L&N's earliest GP30s has a new paint job. This simplified scheme was one of several variations on L&N gray. It wasn't quite stealth, but with the gray nose (in place of yellow) and yellow... (more)

Two ex-GM&O GP30s and an ex-IC GP9 clash a little less than some of the color combinations possible in the early days after the ICG merger. They are teamed up on train 30, and headed for Tuscaloo... (more)

IC had the most GP28s, but that wasn't a big deal, considering only 31 were built, and only 16 stayed in the U.S. IC was very proud of their Paducah Shops, but that EMD paint on the trailing GP3... (more)
