HI Charles and all

 

You are very welcome.  I think the brochure was given to me by Jason Parham who is the GM&O guru in these parts.

HI folks

 

Ingalls Iron Works in Birmingham is gone c.2006.  There is a good video of the empty plant on YouTube by Anderson Williams and friends.

2005 imagery from Google Earth Pro.  It was adjacent to the L&N mainline just SW of downtown Birmingham, and just west of I-65 at University Drive.

 

 

I’ve always understood that the locomotive was built in Pascagoula, MS, but I’m no expert on the subject.

Hi
Just for interest sake is the main railroad on attached doc Southern Railway or all possibly L&N ?    Tallking 1940-50s.       I do not have any knowledge of this area.

Note that there was a siding or a transverse thru the Ingalls Iron Works factory in Birmingham AL.  Still there ??

Thanks
Charles
