Nostalgia & History > The first Bi-Centenial painted unit, SCL 1776Date: 07/04/15 04:09 The first Bi-Centenial painted unit, SCL 1776 Author: acltrainman This is the unit that started the painting of around 200 units in Bi-centenial paint schemes on Class 1, Shortlines and even Industrial units. Shot 01/14/1973 at Uceta Shops Tampa, FL.

That unit is already approaching a year and a half in that paint on the date of your photo. Definitely a case of forward thinking by the SCL. I saw that unit only once back in the mid 70's leading a west bound train on the Georgia Railroad. I was around 13 years old and did not have a camera. Jay Posted from Android Edited 2 time(s).
