Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Eton, GA sometime in the early Fall of 1972
Sometime in the early Fall of 1972 Dad shot this southbound fast freight at Eton, Georgia. On point is L&N SD40 1255 (to SBD 1255, to SBD 8331, to EMDX 6503) trailed by what appears to be 3 U25Cs. The photo was originally shot on an old box-style camera, then Dad later had a 35mm slide reproduced of the shot. Despite the shot being a bit blurry, several things really make this a great shot - the green flag flying above the window and the early phase L&N paint, with the "L&N" on the long hood near the rear.

In June and July of 1976 Dad's B&B crew was working at Morley, TN and on three occasions Dad got to ride along with the crew of the Clairfield Local in the afternoon after his work crew had finished for the day.
The Clairfield Local worked the Trevilion Branch, which was a joint L&N/Southern line from Morley, TN to Fonde, KY. L&N locals originated out of Lafollette or Morley while Southern locals originated out of Jellico, TN.
On June 8, 1976 Dad was riding along in the cab of L&N C420 1322 (ex-Monon 505) and took this shot as the units were switching the coal tipple at Anthras, TN.

I've obviously not paid any attention to the shortline situation in Montana and North Dakota as I was very surprised to find that after my absence from the area of the Yellowstone Valley in eastern Montana/Western North Dakota that WATCO shortline Yellowstone Valley Railroad had taken over operations of former BNSF branch lines from Glendive to Snowden, MT and from Bainville to Plentywood, MT.
I caught GP30 3021 (still lettered for another WATCO line - Palouse River & Coulee City) with a northbound string of cars passing through Dore, ND on the way to Snowden, MT.

B&O SD50 8592 sits at the Etowah, TN engine facilities in January 1987. It's a few months past the CSX merger, but this unit, like many others, is unrepainted, unrenumbered and unpatched. The SD50s ordered by Chessie and Seaboard System had been numbered consecutively to begin with to facilitate the CSX merger.
These two always have a way of eluding me, not today. As soon as I got to Pine the gates were coming down, and a confused trucker almost got another one hit by a Amtrak, because of the way the gates are setup.
