SOU0079
We are on the Southern Railway at Monroe, VA on March 2, 1974. A few minutes earlier, this train had arrived from Alexandria, VA as mixed train No. 7, affectionaterly known as the "Lynchburg Special." Upon stopping, the four GP units on the point were removed and the FP7A and heavyweight coach (Washington-Lynchburg), sandwiched in between, headed south to their destination at Lynchburg. That done, the four GP units recoupled to the train. Soon, they headed south, white flags flying, as an extra. Please forgive the Agfachrome, a mistake of my youth.
