Awaiting a crew change on the way toward Pennyroyal.

Units stored had a oil barrell cut in half placed over the stacks. Not a bad way to do it.

No doubt about the bloodlines of this one. CRRs version of the model had extended range dynamic brakes whereas the SCL units did not, if you don't have the nice lettering.

This southbound has held up by the old coal loader for some reason. These were the newest things around. This one still has its strobe lights, which sounded like a good idea but apparently were ... (more)

This "Pennyroyal" coal train would enter the uncontrolled (at the time) connecting track and continue south on the old SAL Charleston line toward Dillon.

It was unusual for a coal train to be lined into the yard. Most went on thru the station. For some reason this extra was going to be sent to the Williams yard.

This was one of the last of the really soulful old southern shortlines. Hey, I always wondered it there were really any ties under a lot of those rails.

The only unit of this type on the roster and hard to find in MS anywhere, these were usually down in the industrial areas.

About the only thing running during the day, ever, was the local and I caught this one two days before ending one career and beginning another. When tense, go railfanning.
