I was in Chattanooga this afternoon for business and rode by the locomotive shops. Pretty much a sea of black with a CP unit and a graffittied UP GE unit being the only foreign power I saw. There were a couple of freshly painted SD80MACs and the two CAT repowered EMD units. Otherwise full of common everyday units.

They looked old. It was something else when Southern's SD24, GP7, and GP9 units were pushed off the roster in the late 1970s. It was a wakeup call that nothing runs forever in first-line service.
Someday the ex-Southern GP38-2 units, which have been all over the system for 40+ years now, will bite the dust. For now, 245 of the 257 that Southern bought are still in service. |
