Birmingham Special |
| Description: |
Southern Railway’s BIRMINGHAM SPECIAL (Nos. 17/18) was down to three cars when it was photographed at the remains of Birmingham’s TERMINAL STATION in July 1970, across the platform from the SOUTHERN CRESCENT. This train consisted of FP7 6147, E8A 2926, two Norfolk & Western lightweight coaches and a Southern heavyweight baggage car. On its way out of town it would stop at Norris Yard to pick up some intermodal cars before heading north to Washington, D.C. On 11 August - shortly after this photo was taken - the train was discontinued in the State of Tennessee, and two weeks later is was abolished in Alabama as well. (approximate date) |

SOU E8A 2926 |
| Description: |
Southern E8A 2926 was on the SOUTHERN CRESCENT at Slidell, Louisiana. This unit was unusual because it retained its 2900-series number when it was repainted into the new green scheme. The railroad decided to renumber E8A units 2923-2929 as 6900-6905 and 6916 shortly after it adopted the green paint scheme, so almost all of the other 2900-series units came out of the paint shop with new numbers. The 2926 was renumbered 6903, and became New Jersey Department of Transportation 4333 after it was retired by the Southern in 1979. (approximate date of photo) |
