Southern went in big for the GP35, eventually owning 76. Five, including 244, were purchased for Central of Georgia, and stood out by having three-digit numbers and Blomberg trucks. The other 71 - numbered 2645-2715 - came with AAR Type B trucks, except two units (numbered in low 2700s, maybe 2703 and 2704?) with Blombergs. In the photo, 244 is teamed with two GP30s, and a U23B, all still gloriously wearing Southern colors even though NS was a thing by this date.
