Class 31 has the green on the main while a multiple unit class 101 awaits access.

It's a sign of change on the Norfolk and Western's Appalachian Central Division as GM's FT demonstrator units, with an empty coal train, must wait for Norfolk and Western Y6b #2177, lugging a long, and loaded, coal train into Searles, to pass. However, the Norfolk and Western will send the FT's packing, leaving the Y6b to continue to haul coal from the Appalachian Mountains to the coal docks on the tidewater. Picture taken on my Appalachian Central Model Railroadz, which is a work in progress.

You can't have a competition about early diesels without some Black Widows. Here a quintet of SP F-units drag a freight up the last stretch before the summit.

Missouri Pacific's 2nd Generation EMD Road Diesels

An early Missouri Pacific GP9, #1848 leads a mixture of cotton belt, T&P and MoPac cars through an old and weedy unguarded crossing, which a pickup truck is speeding through, as a Silver Cloud III Rolls-Royce Saloon waits to pull out onto Horton Road.

The GWR Flying Banana

The odd but aerodynamically-shaped passenger railcar at the short passenger platform attached to the goods shed is a GWR AEC Railcar. GWR was pioneered the use of diesel railcars on Britain's railways in 1933. They were nicknamed "Flying Bananas". The one shown here is a double-ended passenger one that runs solo, but double-ended mail-carrying railcars and pairs of single-ended passenger ones with optional trailers were also used.


The picture in fact shows diesel, steam and third-rail electric (which Southern Railway pioneered also in the 1930s).
