The Clinchfield and the Southern Pacific had one thing in common. No time or money for washing equipment.

I guess that the Clinchfield was taking Southern Pacific lessons, huh? Wow! Now that's pretty nasty, but what a testimony to the tough work and the amount of tunnels on the line. Thanks for sharing, Kyle!

This tells me that the crews working on the Clinchfield wore only their oldest clothes when on the job,

For shame Clinchfield! Nice shot.

And I thought Southern Pacific had dirty locomotives

That's what a trailing unit looked like after a few round trips through all the Clinchfield's tunnels! Management's opinion was that they pulled the same tonnage, dirty or clean.

Hopefully the engineers remove the dust while climbing into the cab, otherwise we couldn't guess the original colors of this engine!
