Remarks & Notes 
Four SCL GP40's in the split-image paint scheme handle piggyback train No. 175 at Skelton, Va. in March 1969. All of the images seen in this photograph are now gone. CSX abandoned and removed this portion of the "S" Line in 1987. The right-of-way is now overgrown with trees. The farmhouse and outbuildings on the left no longer stand, and the bridge from which I took this photo was demolished, the cut was filled in, and the highway re-graded and re-paved. SCL GP40 1542 was wrecked in 1971.

No matter what the paint or engine, there is something about a pair or group of identical engines that really makes a photo tick.

just as the 1970s were a good era in virginia railroading, the 1950s and 1960s were just as colorful as the 1970s were. this a tribute to the days of simple railroading and why it served as a basis of what it is today.
