| Description: |
Terminal Railway/Alabama State Docks SW1500 681 at home in Mobile. TASD units were numbered for the year purchased- the first unit in 1968 in this case. This is the unit's second paint scheme as it was delivered in a red/white motif in honor of the University of Alabama. Sister 682 had Auburn colors. |

War Eagle! |
| Description: |
Before Terminal Railroad Alabama State Docks (TASD) went to black paint it had several units painted in the colors of the state!s two major Universitys- either red/white for 'Bama or Orange/Blue for Auburn. SW1500 682 shows the Tigers' hues in 1978. Ten years in the Alabama sun has taken its toll on the paint job- it would soon be repainted in black. This is about as simple as an SW1)00 can get, with a small fuel tank, hood-mounted hand rails and friction bearings. |
