Name	Type	Comments	Date

Fred Stuckmann	General	8 five man crews earned a living on each of these, everyday.	1/27/2012 11:19:20 AM

Robert Farkas	General	How sad. The transition from switcher to roadswitcher as yard power is beautifully caught in this shot.	1/27/2012 4:25:08 PM

Bryan Smith	General	I guess they couldn't last forever. Maybe some of them made it to a short line.	1/27/2012 6:05:15 PM

Wendy Crim	General	Great shot. Dead lines are sobering.	1/27/2012 7:03:45 PM

Allen Jenkins	General	If it makes you feel better, #1100 was donated to the Atlanta Chapter of the NHRS when retired Nov 1982. I believe it wears the 1950 as delivered paint styling.	1/27/2012 7:33:47 PM

David Barrentine	General	A nice shot, but somewhat a sad one.	1/27/2012 7:36:46 PM

Charles Burgess	General	Nice catch; talk about being at the right place at the right time!	1/27/2012 11:59:53 PM

Charles Stookey	General	What a sight. Were they all scrapped or did any survive.	1/28/2012 2:53:12 AM

Olaf Junges	General	Great catch, very nice photo!	1/28/2012 3:28:21 AM

Chris S	General	Sad, but inevitable...great shot, Bernie	1/28/2012 7:48:17 PM
