Tri-Mount Trio
June 29, 1965: The L&N Knoxville & Atlanta Division headend crew for Extra 1507 South makes the walk from the enginemen’s crew room at Corbin, Ky. to their mounts for this trip. The GE U25C on the point was only two weeks old, but the two grungy Alco C628s behind had been in service for eleven months. The trio with tri-mount trucks will take a Knoxville Turn out of the west yard at Corbin with a heavy train of southbound mixed freight. After swapping ends at West Knoxville, they’ll head north (as Extra 1411 North). While the steam-era roundhouse was razed in the late 50s, the turntable was still in service (on the right).
