Pre-SBD/CSX coal train power - A sb coal train is about ready to pull at Bostic, connection point for Clinchfield and SAL/SCL. Up front is SCL SDP35 1962, followed by a pair of SD40s and a U30C, all L&N. In the distance is a CRR SD40, and beyond, a set of SCL SD45-2s. Won't be long before Chessie units will begin to show up here.
Photos taken in the Deep South--primarily Alabama and Georgia--from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Featured railroads include the ICG, the West Point Route, SCL, Southern, Frisco, and even KCS.
