From the vestibule - Southern E units
Author: gcm

Sept 77
I enjoyed getting to the closest vestibule to the E units on the Southern Crescent.
Listening to them working up grades was something you don't forget.

Hard not to be envious, but I am glad you got a chance to soak it all up and employ your photographic skills for posterity.

Thanks!

Hmmm, that's 4 E-units, so 8 prime movers, some of them not in sync with the others...  Must have been a hell of an audio experience.

The four FP7's on the other train - the Piedmont made a glorious sound charging up grades too.  Often on Sundays there were no freight engines to ferry to Atlanta, and the four F's had the often long mixed train to themselves.  Somehow the M5 horns sounded more strident on the F's.
