Former SCL SD45 #2024 has found a wonderful home at the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum in Oak Ridge, TN. Lettering is soon to come for this brute, as soon as a few mechanical issues are sorted out.

YCNH doing the flip to get the crab in the right position to swallow,, looks like the crab has other ideas
The Autauga Northern Railroad, which runs between Prattville and Maplesville, Alabama, now hosts a pair of ex-SCL GP40s. I believe they've been upgraded to -2 specs internally, but that's about it. After spending time out in California, they've now been transferred here to interchange with NS and (for the most part) work International Paper.
In this photo, 3 units are being put together for a run to the mill, and then a trip to the NS interchange.
SCL 133508 at Florence SC on 11-5-1981. The SCL rostered many cars of this design and classed them as a "G5". BSC built the cars or at least supplied the components. Joseph R Quinn photo, JL Sessa collection.
SCL 95451, class X4D built in October 1977 by ACF. One of 200 such cars in this class. No location listed, but I am sure someone will recognize it fairly easily. Looks at all those wonderful freight cars! Don Reck photo, JL Sessa collection.
Again the hawk in my yard,
This time, I was tired of the same old hawk setting in the tree shot,even though the light was good.
So I havce watched these guys for a while now, finally figured out the hints as to when they are going to fly and in what probable direction,, So I waited,, waited,, then,, there it was, so I got the in flight shot!
Santiago, seen from San Cristóbal Hill.
this picture is maybe too repetitive and cliché, but I love it anyway :-)
I AM BACK!
Ran outside once fed ex got here to snap a shot in bad light of this guy nesting on the back side of the property. Three nests are active, one I cant tell, but his one was recently built and for once I have a fairly clear vantage point.
Canon did a great job on refurbishing the 40D, New Shutter, cleaned up, heck they even threw in a new strap.
Only had a couple minutes to grab a shot, more to come when the light gets good!!
A Family Lines classic in service as a supply car as part of a weed spraying train at Goodview, MN October 8, 2011.
he was like an intense missile dropping out of the tree to grab a bug on the ground next to me (too close or could not grab focus on the attack darn it), I dont think he opened the wings till he pulled up at the ground level.
He gave me a clue he might be ready to fly by opening up the wings a touch and dropping his head, so I was ready to move with him for once.
El sol aún no sale sobre la ciudad de Santiago cuando la "Loica" de JetSmart se prepara para aterrizar por la pista 17L.
The sun has not risen over the city of Santiago as the "Loica" of JetSmart prepares to land on runway 17L.
An absolute stunner of a slide, here is refurbished RBL SCL 995941 at the Fruit Grower's Express plant at Alexandria, Va. Beginning in 1981, FGE rebuilt several RBLs and later mechanical reefers with catchy marketing slogans and paint schemes. Many of the refurbished cars went on to be leased by other railroads, such as this SCL car. Note the N de M cabooses in the background; it is pontificated by Dwight Jones in vol 1 of B&0 Modern Cabooses that those may have been the last new cabooses built, at least by FGE. This slide went to a bidding war obviously, and since I was unavailable to bid, I tasked my girlfriend with "winning" it for me. The wallet hurt a little bit, but it's a beautiful un-coupled 3/4 shot of this fresh rebuild. It is November 26th 1982, and the photo was made by Tom Murray. JL Sessa collection.
Seaboard Coast Line U18B 369 at Orlando Florida in 08-1975. The only two roads in the U.S that opted for the U18B were the SCL and Maine Central when they traded in old EMD's for them. Maine Central's rode on EMD Blomberg B trucks from their trade ins while SCL had both Blomberg B and G.E. Floating Bolster trucks.They had 1800hp delivered from an 8cyl powerplant. Howard Kent Jr.
I found this Seaboard Coast Line SW9 switchers working at the Amtrak station in Jacksonville, Florida, in July 1977. (Scanned from a Kodachrome slide)
My curiosity is killing me, the first documentation I found on this says it is/was in Hartsville, SC. It is certainly in Mullins, SC now. Any of the rail or caboose sleuths out there know the rest of the story? How did it from there to here? Is it owned by RJ Corman? Sure seems to be collecting vegetation and rust at a rapid rate.
Good luck finding any information about SCL's hodge-podge open hopper fleet! Here's SCL 162187 near Willard Ohio on March 20th 1987. Note the car was stenciled for MOW-Ballast service...and is apparently back to hauling coal. I included the cars coupled to it as they are of interest too, including that C&O 85-ton to the left...definitely a forgotten intermediate step from the smaller hoppers into the 100-ton realm. Anyways, Dan Dorko captured this car, JL Sessa collection.
For something different, a Seaboard Sunday surprise from the Admiral, coming from a family trip to Florida we took in April 1981. On the 19th of that month we found ourselves at the sprawling St. Petersburg station, a portion of which was this SCL office building, accented by the lucky superimposition of a palm tree's shadow.
