SOU 5080 leads train #220
Title:  SOU 5080 leads train #220
Description:  6.23.1981 Charlotte. Taken on the mainline that passes through the former township of Newell located on the northern suburbs of Charlotte, SOU 5080 leads a quartet northbound powering train #220, Southern's hotshot TOFC/COFC consist at the time. If you look closely you'll see a crewman leaning out of the window of the lead engine waving with both hands. Train operators were so much more friendly back then.

Southern's SD35s at speed
Title:  Southern's SD35s at speed
Description:  11.28.1981 Newell, NC. On the north side of Charlotte is the former township of Newell which to this day has a long tangent of the former Southern mainline. Here I'm pacing 3 SD35's. In the lead is 30398, followed by 3035. The third locomotive is unknown. Is there anything better to do on a Thanksgiving Saturday than to chase trains?
