The eastbound long-range local rolls into Opelika. At the time this photo was made, their would have been plenty for 46's crew to do in Opelika. I doubt the current NS counterpart to 46 has much... (more)

An ancient geep - coupled to a much newer GP38-2 - gets some attention at Columbus. First-generation units like 8233 are still out on the main in local service, but the end draws near for them.

With fog from Mobile Bay, the usual Deep South summer haze, and emissions from huge nearby paper mills, it can (or could back then) be tough to get even slight color in the sky. This day was shap... (more)

The power - three SD40s plus three B367s - kind of tells you that is probably an important CSX train sitting just beyond the signal. That doesn't matter, as the Southern (well, ok... NS) long-ran... (more)

A Southern freight - with three GP35s and a single GP30 - gets to Chickasaw just ahead of the shadows. All those AAR Type-Bs make the GP30 with its Blombergs the oddball in this scene. That is B... (more)
