L&N Veterans
As diesel power continued to thrive, the L&N continued to invest in motive power for their system. In 1965, they purchased 22 new EMD SD35's for service, former L&N 1216 seen here in the Oak Ridge deadlines. The 1216 made it into the early years of CSX before being sold off to the Minnesota Valley Railroad, changing hands another handful of times before finding its way to the SARM safe haven. I love the amount of former L&N units preserved here and I hope to see them back in service one day.
