Does the Archives have any documents dealing with the Land and Immigration Department for the 1890s and early 1900s? I have searched the SRHA finding aids but have not found any references. This is

I think it likely that the traffic feeding into Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga on the double track was divided over several routes at those cities, or was for places located there (especially

I have often found it odd that the AGS coming north into Birmingham warranted double track, the CNO&TP north of Chattanooga was double track, and the Main from Atlanta to Washington was double track,

Allen: The SR was quite proud of it s double track, so much so the maps in the PTTs show it… Here’s two from the 1954 PTT. Ike

Allen, I don't know if it is a "main line", but the old G.S.&F. Line through south Georgia is single......but does have passing sidings south of Sycamore and on north side of Valdosta.

I realize that this is a VERY general question. In 1955 would the Southern main lines be predominantly single or double track? Washington to Atlanta? Bristol to Chattanooga? Others? Thanks, Allen Cain

Hello, list. Sometime ago I made a list of some of the engines my father handled on trains 71 and 72 between Columbus, GA and Montgomery, AL on the old Central of Georgia in 1974 and 1976. The lists

Hi Ike and all, This is pretty amazing. The UK online archive has a “Nollau” photo collection which contains a lot of AGS material. He was an engineering professor and apparently did work

The Southern Railway Presidents’ Files in the SRHA Archives go from “interesting and useful” to simply “unusual”. Box 15 File 215 contains an insurance policy for the CNO&TP and AGS dated

Here are two parts from Budd drawing T42-02961 that provide dimensions and placement for the under floor equipment on Southern coach lounges Nos 950 to 955. We are just starting to get the SRHA

Rahl, It’s definitely a long way from a finished product, but is also in very good hands. Kevin

Kevin, That sure is exciting news that means they got three SR LW coaches saved up there. I was worried that one was going to be lost, last time I saw it it had no windows and looked terrible! BR,

Rahl, Positive on the car number. It was purchased and moved out of Florida a year or so ago. Glad the pictures help. Kevin

Kevin, Are you sure about that car number? Because unless they have acquired 817 from GA/FL area recently then the only two SR LW coaches based out of there are 819 and 829 (Restored and currently at

Good shots Kevin, thanks for sharing. I had not seen the units on the streamline cars so this is interesting. Thanks Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

I was able to take a little time yesterday to photograph the steam A/C details under former Southern Railway coach 817. This car is now in private ownership and is undergoing restoration in Oak Ridge,

Hi Ike and all, Seems like cheap travel till you realize that (according to Lending Tree) $23 in 1915 is worth $593 today! John John R Stewart www.bhamrails.info 205-901-3790

Recent trips to the archives have turned up a remarkable amount of Pullman, express and passenger train information in the Presidents' files. Business was down in 1915 so the railroad was looking for

On this date, October 25, 1941, Southern officially suspended passenger service on the Harrisonburg Branch. When train 11 arrived in Manassas, Virginia late that afternoon, the cars were requisitioned
