From the Paducah Shop rebuild characteristics: dynamic brake removed, roof access hatches over engine hood and right angle grab iron on the nose, my first thought was that this Alco-trucked GP35 was a Gulf Mobile & Ohio original. But, GM&O GP35s were built with low noses, so the use of a cut-down early GP7 or 9 nose, and the 2600-series road number makes the Southern Railway the more likely source.
