I have ordered one, but has not arrived yet! Heard good things about it. Warren

I just received my copy of the new Southern Railway book from White River Productions. I haven't seen much mention of it here, but you certainly get your money's worth. Excellent color

The attached photo appeared in the 2010 Sept-Oct edition of TIES. This was the issue with the stories about the introduction of AC signaling to the Southern. This photo ran on the back page and was

Jim: I don't know myself but info from Ed King is "take it to the bank" stuff. Ike

I own this color negative and the envelope it came in was dated and stated Bristol. The brick building behind the Silverside gon also looks like the yard office that’s still there but there’s

I asked Ed King if he knew anything about the photo. He did not except to say he did not think it was in Bristol. Ed would certainly know, he is "Mr Steam" and from Bristol. Ike

Thanks for the insights, Jim. Scott Chatfield

This is the other end of the Silverside shot. 475 was dolled up for the famous 1957 NRHS convention and used for special occasions afterward and stored in Shaffer’s Crossing r/h in between. It now

Another point re: this 1960 shot of Silverside and N&W 475 I just sent: the last steam on N&W was in Williamson WV, a lowly 0-8-0, in May 1960. I don’t know if 475 was serviceable to be

They were built in Birmingham.

My guess: the hopper was newly built and was being routed to the nearest SOU interchange point for delivery to SOU. Mike Turner MP-Z35

I was thinking there must have some kind of display in Bristol for PR. The freshly painted tender is the give away with that late date. I think Bob Graham may be right, the Abington engine that was

My guess (emphasize GUESS) is that SOU silverside shown in the slide is not being worked by N&W steam, but is coupled to N&W class M 4-8-0 433 (for some reason) that was restored cosmetically and is

They would have been brand new if they were switched by N&W steam. I don’t know the answer, but since the photo was taken in Bristol, the car could have been touched by N&W in the joint N&W-SOU yard

Probably new en route. I see a builder's date of 2/60. If I remember correctly N&W ran steam through April 1960, though increasingly isolated. Thanks for sharing. This is something which you never

Anybody know the story behind this shot? I didn't know the Silversides ever went off-line. That appears to be a switcher's tender it's coupled to.

Charlie, This is very useful information to make good enough assumptions. Red oscillating mars light up top and either a 7-beam, single-beam, or twin-beam headlight below... the lighting itself can

David, Pasted below are excerpts the current Code of Federal Regulations (229.125) regarding locomotive headlights. While these are much later than when the E-6s were built, I suspect that in regards

Ike, Very late, but thank you for providing that photo and the information you provided. I had no idea they put 7 bulbs into that lower headlight. I figured it was the typical 1/2 light headlights
