Southern GP7 8300 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8300 was beginning to switch train No. 1 - the southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT - in the Atlanta station by removing the locomotives which had brought the train in from Washington, E8A units 6910, 6909, 6906 and 6901. Next it would add the units which would power the train to New Orleans, then remove some cars from the rear of the train, and finally add a freshly-stocked diner and a dome car. This was a regular procedure on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, when No. 1 ran all the way from Washington to New Orleans. |

Here's a 1952 EMD GP7 s1500 hp witcher, a class ES15m in the PRR books. Later it would be renumbered PC #5853 after the merger. Date is approximate but with Warren Evans help, the date must be after 1966 when PRR used large numbers on the cabs.
