Atlanta & West Point #280 leaves Auburn, Alabama in October of '52. The A&WP owned two of these Lima-built Pacific's, the #280 and the #290, and while the #280 is long gone, the #290 still survives. It had a brief excursion career of about 3 years, was the subject of a huge legal battle between the Southern and the A&WP, starred in Fried Green Tomatoes, and is apart receiving a slow cosmetic restoration at the South East Railroad Museum.
