SP Transfer Run
Title:  SP Transfer Run
Description:  A westbound Southern Pacific transfer run was passing the LSU Dental School on the Southern Railway’s New Orleans Terminal Co. subsidiary, en route from the Louisville & Nashville’s GENTILLY YARD to the Espee’s AVONDALE YARD. The transfer run was powered by seven locomotives, which had gone to the L&N on two separate trains. Combining power on transfer runs from the L&N to the SP was not unusual because there was typically an imbalance of traffic, with more eastbound trains. The locomotives were SSW GP20R 4137, SP GP20’s 4085 and 4079, SSW GP20R’s 4143 and 4148, SP GP35 6664 and SSW GP35 6502.

BO 6948, RDG 6506, & BO 6600
Title:  BO 6948, RDG 6506, & BO 6600
Description:  This unlikely trio were heading up a mixed freight on this unknown day. B&O 6948 was a 1964 EMD. Reading #6506 was a 1963 EMD which was renumbered to 3625 in 1964, retired 6/25/81, traded into GE and then scrapped in 1981. The last trailing B&O #6600 was a 1956 EMD product. Date is approximate & based on the fact that RDG 6506 was built in 1963 and renumbered in 1964. Thanks to Rodney Miller (see comment below), the location is Cumberland, MD, near Mexico Tower. Thanks, Rodney! F. R. Kern Jr photo
