FlanaryRon-NRHSExcursion-CopperCreek-11-84
An unlikely trio of units brings a northbound NRHS excursion over the Copper Creek Viaduct at Speers Ferry. The lead unit is a privately-owned F7A, painted in ACL purple and silver and lettered for the Charleston and Western Carolina. The next unit is an ex-Clinchfield F7B, Seaboard System's 119. But the last unit is a real gem: the late Glen Monhart's ACL E3, number 501. The old slant nosed EMC unit is now in the collection of the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, and it was a featured subject at the "Streamliners" event earlier this year.
