Back when car use charges were computed on a daily basis, with a midnight cut-off, the Southern scheduled No. 115 and SP run-through train No. 193 out of Birmingham so they were delivered in the late evening, getting those cars off of its property before midnight! (approximate date)

SOU GP35 2709
Title:  SOU GP35 2709
Description:  Southern Railway GP35 2709 at Loudon, Tennessee on April 3, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The train is switching the local Maremont Corporation (my employer at the time) factory which produced automobile mufflers. Loads of steel coil went in and loads of scrap steel came out. The finished product was shipped by truck. My job was to shoot photos for public relations purposes. Needless to say, this was not a flattering picture of my employer, so it was rejected for its original purpose, but here it is presented in adaptive use, train people will like it.

Southern Local
Title:  Southern Local
Description:  During WWII the U.S. Government built an aircraft assembly plant along Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans and the Southern Railway constructed a 1-mile spur to serve it. Here, Consolidated Vultee (later known as Convair) built about 220 PBY-5 CATALINA amphibious patrol planes. Unlike most aircraft plants, this one had no runways; so each finished plane was moved down a ramp into the lake where it took off! After the war the plant was sold to American Standard and was used to manufacture plumbing fixtures. Up into the 1980’s the plant was served by the northbound local out of New Orleans, but later it was switched by a yard job. In this undated view the local was pulling out of the plant, crossing Leon C. Simon Dr. and about to cross Franklin Ave. The spur was removed after the plant closed. (date of photo unknown)
