Description
An old Southern Railway locomotive meets a new Norfolk Southern locomotive painted in Southern colors. NS 8099 is a GE ES44AC. It was one of twenty new locomotives painted by NS in 2012 to predeccesor schemes.
Southern #6900 has an interesting history. It was built by Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in 1951. Originally numbered 2923, it was used in passenger service along the east coast. The 6900 ended its career on the Southern pulling the Southern Crescent from Washington, DC to Atlanta, GA. After Southern Railway ceased passenger service in 1979, the 6900 was donated to the NCTHC the next year. Norfolk Southern Corporation restored the exterior of the locomotive in 1995 at Chattanooga, TN. It is now on display in the Robert Julian Roundhouse.
