Great series! That last shot is really nice with the quartet of high nose GP-30's!

Nice set of photos and info.  The high short hood made for a strange looking face, but is nice to see them long hood forward.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I've always been partial to the look of western railroading but MAN the Southern Railway had some classy looking locomotives.  I wish I was able to capture this fine scheme before they all turned into horse heads.

Thanks for sharing.
