O&W 9951 & 2 more

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Patty, TN in March 1987
Sometime in March of 1987, Dad shot O&W SD40-2 9951 (to BCOL 744, to DME 6200) and 2 more units with a southbound OWTX unit coal train at Patty, Tennessee.
O&W power, cars and caboose were all owned by Shamrock Coal Company and used to haul coal to power plants in South Carolina and south Georgia. The SD40-2s were built to L&N specs, and crewed by L&N or Clinchfield crews (later SBD crews). The power would eventually be sold to British Columbia Railroad.
