I hope to include lots of Southern Railway historical information on this website over time. For now, I have S. Roger Kirkpatrick's table of extant Southern Railway cabs (cabooses for the uninitiated), some prototype photos of Southern Railway equipment, and contact information for the Southern Railway historical groups.

Southern Railway Historical Association

The Southern Railway Historical Association is the premier organization for Southern Railway history and preservation. It publishes the bimonthly magazine TIES® Magazine, holds annual meetings in locations of historical significance to the Southern Railway, and makes available special offerings of books, videos, slides, and other items to its members and to the public. An important goal of the SRHA is to create research and photo archives. The former Southern Railway Historical Society (Southern Rails) has merged into the SRHA.
