Right behind the geeps on this eastbound local is a load of coal destined for Columbus, GA, where it will wind up in the tenders of SR 722 and S&A 750, scheduled for a double-headed Birmingham to ... (more)

GM&O RS-1s did everything around Montgomery other than power the Artesia road freights. Their service would last beyond the 1972 ICG merger until 1975, when they would be replaced with a rag-tag a... (more)

In the twilight of their service lives, four RS-1s - including one repainted in orange and white - congregate at West End Yard. In a few months, ICG will bring in a motley crew of old geeps to ta... (more)

A Western Railway of Alabama drags a transfer cut out of S&N Yard (combined SCL and L&N) and across Court Street into WRofA's Chester Yard. In a process that will take a few more years to complet... (more)

ICG acquired some ex-Reading GP7s that had been in RDG's 600-series, and fit them into the ICG roster by dropping the first '6'. With a bright spot of fresh yellow over the unwanted 6, ICG64 waits... (more)

So dusty it looks more gray than black, 9436 - teamed with a Precision National geep - heads back to West End Yard after delivering a train to L&N's S&NA Yard. These run-throughs were an experimen... (more)

It might be impossible to make an E8A ugly, but PC and Amtrak came close with 275. It is - I believe - a little unusual in that it has an Amtrak number, but nothing about 'Amtrak' anywhere. PC's... (more)

U36B 1748 and a pair of SD45s have a Birmingham-bound freight really rolling as they lean into the superelevation right in front of the Warm Springs depot.

Looks like they had some extra blue paint at the shop and someone decided 7509's plow was the best place for it. Photo made shortly before these signals were replaced.

Ex-L&N 3318 straddles the pit in CSX's open-air engine facility. A couple more ex-L&N U23Bs are on the adjacent track, but an Ex-B&O GP30 breaks up the L&N/GE show.

An SW shoves a set of diesels back toward the head end of their Spartanburg-bound train. Today's power is a bit odd, with a trio of SD45s spliced by a GP30.

It looks like the crew member is about to flag his train across Main Street, but he is actually walking ahead to throw a switch and send his train down the branch to Forest City. Once his train ha... (more)

The Artesia train eases out of the north end of Montgomery's West End Yard, headed for Tuscaloosa, AL and Artesia, MS behind 706 and a quartet of Paducah rebuilds.
