Southern Crescent power, Ivy City Engine Terminal, Washington DC

            Four of the Southern Railway's elegant E-8s idle away at Ivy City engine yard in Washington DC.  The units arrived on this morning's Southern Crescent and will return south on this evening's Crescent.  The Crescent was named after the arc of its route from the New Orleans to New York.  These E-units were dressed in a vibrant green and cream with gold lettering and stripes - even including the name of the train they were assigned to beneath the number boards. The installation of tank air reservoirs on the roof of the unit over each engine only enhanced the overall design. It's clearly obvious where the engine washing brushes contact the nose of the engine.
