In late 1958, a freight swings through a reverse curve at Emerson, GA, on the ex-Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis main line north of Atlanta. Two of the B-units have surrendered their blue and gray livery to L&N all-black, but the other three units are still in full NC&StL colors. The B-units all have steam generators, while the As do not (although they have pass-through steam and signal lines for passenger service). The “N&C’s” cab units were pure dual purpose machines, handling the Dixie Flyer or Georgian one day, and freights like this the next. The NC&StL was merged into the L&N in August 1957.
