These 70 tonners were used on several branches with light rail and/or old bridges.
Southern built several yard slugs. Some were constructed from parts and sheet metal but
this one was based on a FM baby trainmaster.
The stacks on this NW2 are capped so it is either being stored or is awaiting final
disposition after retirement.
This SW7 shows off the typical Southern horn arrangement in frnt of the cab.
The River Street Rambler ran down River Street in Savannah. The bright colors and
Dixieland jazz played through loudspeakers warned tourists of its coming.
Here's the other side of the Rambler. It was numbered 1733 in honor of the date of the
founding of the city of Savannah.
2266 switches a cut of cars in Chattanooga with Seminary Ridge in the background.
Here's a pair of MP15s on a caboose hop.
Note the Blomberg trucks which distinguish the MP15s from SW1500s.
With their road trucks the MP15s were rated for yard work and mainline running.
The second order of
MP15s came with an exhaust silencer standard.
No. 6001 was one of the first switchers purchased from ALCO by the Southern.
Finally, a set of SW7s in the green and imitation aluminum scheme.
