Classy paint scheme. The black looks even better than the green. Thanks for posting.

Photo 1, GP35 had been ordered by CofG prior to acquisition by Southern. EMD trucks, unlike many Southern GP35s that had Alco trucks from trade-ins.

Photo 2, by this time Southern had signed the paperwork to hand over the Southern Crescent to Amtrak. What remained of the E8 fleet was going downhill.

Photo 3, just before Southern parked all its GP7s.

Pretty cool seeing the 211 with its orignal number. Got it ten years later shortly before its retirement as the 241 at Ludlow Ky. in March 1989. Thanks for sharing your Southern images.
