Nostalgia & History > Seaboard Coast Line SCL somewhere freight & pass pre-AmtrakDate: 09/17/23 08:26 Seaboard Coast Line SCL somewhere freight & pass pre-Amtrak Author: KCRW287 A short film showing green and yellow Seaboard Geeps in action and wyeing a passenger train, the train has E units, 1 white the other black. I cannot find the final view of the last leg of the train getting wyed. A Southern passenger train is included. This film came from a reel from the Atlanta area, so I figure it might be from the Atlanta area, but I might be wrong. Unknown photographer, KCRW287 collection

Date: 09/17/23 10:55 Re: Seaboard Coast Line SCL somewhere freight & pass pre-Amtrak Author: Notch7 Thanks for posting this awesome video from Atlanta. Based on the film vintage and consists, the Southern train appears to be No. 38 - the Crescent. No.38 picked up its diner at Greenville SC. The Crescent lounge served sandwiches, drinks, and snacks out of Atlanta. No. 38 started carrying some heavyweight coaches out of Atlanta after being combined with No. 30. The SCL passenger train is the Silver Comet with Seaboard's famous pet E9 3060 - renumbered 599 on the point. I think I saw one of the Silver Meteor's old coach buffet observations in the consist - probably subbing for the usual ex-Meteor tavern-coach. The ALCO Century 430 demo eventually becomes SCL 1275. It looks to be maybe 1969.

I forget sometimes the L&N had C420's. I always thought they were snappy looking.
