Dave: The sheet metal monogram used on F-units in, say, the 1950s, was green and (imitation) gold. I owned one, and donated it to TVRM. —Bill

The list is not a company, but imagine if you went into a store and asked what aisle the Kleenex were in and the clerk said “I’ll let some other staff tell you where they are, but you should know

Thanks Ed! As a “naturalized” Floridian, I have to admit the ACL medallion lettering style is the absolute classic! Ed’s drawing, like Southern DL-1010 appears to be a tracing of an EMD

Here is a good example of a “MEDALLION”. Ed Mims

And EMD called it a "Medallion." Bob Hanson

I'll leave the color question to others but first I'll harp on "herald". The Southern Railway always/only called the round "Southern Serves the South" stencil a "Monogram". Other railroads may have

Hello everyone, after looking at many color photos of Southern's cab units during the 50's, I have a question. Was the lettering on the herald green or black? Most models I've seen have green

There's a lot of that "infinite wisdom" going around. A scanned image is not the same as an original document, and frequently they'll scan a contract or document without scanning the supporting

One item that we obtained from the ACL/SAL merger that actually worked was the Savannah Interchange. SCL/CSXT has (or had) the responsibility to handle CGA-SCL/CSXT interchange both ways year round.

I've got two questions pertaining to modeling Southern passenger cars. 1) When did Southern start applying horizontal gold stripe to the bottoms of Pullman green passenger cars and 2) when did

I also started with Southern after Mr. Brosnan left and worked for for a number of people who had come up under his administration. A lot of them were pretty tough to work for as well. Some years

Two more items from the SRHA files.....certainly an unusual subject in 1968, a steam loco and Automatic Train Stop..... I sent these to "our" Jim Howe (a member of SRHA's BOD and the Association's

Crosstie Models’ owner, Josh Clark, and I have reached an agreement for Smoky Mountain Model Works, Inc. to resume production of the Southern/NS/N&W GS50/G82 large wood chip hopper kit in HO.

I think that such rights were rendered redundant by the purchase of the Georgia Northern. The Southern upgraded a portion of the road so that they could run trains from Albany over to Sparks, GA

Trackage rights for the CG from Albany to Tifton were apparently agreed to by SCL but not done? Ike

To this day I wonder how many ICC commissioners the ACL and SAL paid off to get that kind of ruling. It blows my mind that they were able to get the merger approved without giving up anything in the

Yet another major file(s) in the SRHA archives concern the Seaboard Coast Line merger in the mid 60s. In addition to competition from the ACL and SAL combination, the Southern was interested in

Brosnan was both a genius and a lunatic at the same time. He was a genius because of his many ideas and inventions that enabled the Southern - and the railroad industry in general - to mechanize and

Ike: Wow! Thank you so much for your effort in finding this information. Reading this response written over 50 years ago means a great deal to me. I doubt that it got him out of the dog house

Rodney: We look forward to you (everyone on SR@groups.io, actually) making it to one of our archives work sessions. They are a combination of actual work, just looking through the archives and always
