Unknown to me at the time the 1434 would only have 7 months of life left. Louisville & Nashville 1434 Alco C630 Built 12-1965 Ex. Atlantic Coast Line 2012 Ex. Seaboard Coast Line 2212 Ex. L&N 8008, renumbered to L&N 1434 during 5-1977. Locomotive retired on 9-03-1980 Tampa Florida February 1980 Gerhard H. Anderson Photo
