Remarks & Notes

In 1974, the Southern/Western Railway of Alabama crossing in Opelika was still first come, first served. On this spring day long-range local 45 gets their man to the crossing first, so WofA local 6 (behind a nearly-new GP40-2 of affiliate Georgia Railroad) will have to wait its turn.
