Modified for hump service at Rice Yard in Waycross these "H-15s" as the railroad called them were in at least one case re-engined with old 16-567BC engines. After SBD came along they sh... (more)

Formerly of the L&N this unit is now actually CSX but does not bear that logo so I prefer Seaboard. It appears to be sitting in the "field" where units await assignment after being serv... (more)

It was unusual, I think, to find a large number of coal hoppers on this train but today the faded Uceta rebuilds have quite a string on this departing WB train. Photo by Jim Satterwhite, from my ... (more)

Faded glory. Having once been resplendent in SAL green, then drab in SCL and in two days to be owned by the "railroad with no name", this unit awaits its next assignment in the humid so... (more)

I miss these old models and remember how it seems as if they would be around forever.

The "field" is more full of units today and this unit may be set up to go out on a road freight.

Take a good look, you may never see one again. This is a locomotive washing facility. Pride and image are two things of small concern to the followship of most present day railroads.

Example of a "tasteful" way to reletter and renumber upon merger. Ex-Chessie units got a lot of these nice modifications, ex-SBD, not so much. Photo by Jim Satterwhite, from my collect... (more)

Two products of the Tampa rebuild program hang out awaiting some work. Photo by Jim Satterwhite, from my collection.

A Seaboard Air Line locomotive and caboose have been on display in Hamlet, North Carolina for more than thirty years. I made this photograph at Seaboard Days on October 26, 2013.
