My Father's Collection

These were very short lived units on Southern's roster. The last built by Alco and the first scrapped! A string of @lco including all of the PAs make their last stand in Atlanta Ga. near Pegram Shops. The 6901 as a Alco is not what people think of when they hear that number!

Also retired were S&As Baldwins which Southern had oo use for! These rare beast stand near Southern's Pegram Shops awaiting the scrappers torch.

Although not in her famed Blue, Gray & Black with orange stripes, CofG E7 807 still looks grand standing on Souuhern's Pergram Shop turn table in 1964. Note the modified vents directly behind the cab in the bell location.
