Southern Railway Train No. 47 |
Description: |
Southern Railway train No. 47 – the southbound SOUTHERNER– had just backed into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal behind FP7 6147 and an unidentified E8A. (Its scheduled arrival time was 7:10 PM.) Here, a carman had uncoupled the locomotives and was signaling the engineer with his lantern that he could pull ahead. The engine crew would then bring the power out to the engine terminal, where they would go off duty. When this photo was taken, the SOUTHERNER was frequently powered by an FP7 and an E8; but for most of its 29-year existence, the train ran with one or two E-units. (approximate date of photo) |

Birmingham Special |
Description: |
Southern Railway’s BIRMINGHAM SPECIAL (Nos. 17/18) was down to three cars when it was photographed at the remains of Birmingham’s TERMINAL STATION in July 1970, across the platform from the SOUTHERN CRESCENT. This train consisted of FP7 6147, E8A 2926, two Norfolk & Western lightweight coaches and a Southern heavyweight baggage car. On its way out of town it would stop at Norris Yard to pick up some intermodal cars before heading north to Washington, D.C. On 11 August - shortly after this photo was taken - the train was discontinued in the State of Tennessee, and two weeks later is was abolished in Alabama as well. (approximate date) |
