Remarks & Notes 
Norfolk Southern Railway's Yadkin River Bridges were built by the Southern Railway in 1906 and 1919, with each of the two parallel bridges consisting of four Warren deck truss spans. An eastbound NS piggyback train, powered by a quartet of Southern Railway diesels (a pair of U23Bs, with Southern Railway 3917 leading, and a pair of GP30s … all with the distinctive high short hoods emblematic of the Southern, and operating long-hood forward) is heading for the nearby Spencer Yard. (Linwood, North Carolina – September 30, 1986)
