Southern had the BEST P5s!!! Glad to see that NS inherited them!!!
-
The Southern was an incredible RR....really cared for their equipment and kept it in top notch shape. Same goes for N&W, so it worked out well that these two fine companies merged to form NS.
-
I've gone thru that crossover many a time when I was a brakeman on the Southern back in the 70s...ahh the memories! Sometimes on the head end, sometimes on the caboose - depending on which position you pulled if you were on the extra board as I was. Technically I was a "trainman", but if you were working the brakeman slot you'd be on the head end. If you were the flagman, you'd be on the caboose.
-
Another thing that went out w/the caboose is the telegraph wires. The railroad crews use walkie talkies and other forms of communication with the dispatcher.
-
It is refreshing to see the old SR tuxedo paint configuration.....this was the scheme when I hired on the Southern in the 1970's.

true p5

Sweet! This is how I remember the early days of NS. You might see a lash up of anything on there and usually high hooded engines. Now everything is two wide cabs. Railfanning is boring now. Thanks for uploading this great clip.

Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the Merger. Too bad that the caboose didn't stick around after that.
