O&W 9951, 9950, 9954 & 9957 - a photo on Flickriver

            Reproduced 35mm Slide
Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Elza, TN in June 1981

Sometime in June 1981 Dad shot the northbound "Green Train" at Elza, Tennessee. Power is O&W SD40-2s 9951 (to BCOL 744, to DME 6200), 9950 (to BCOL 743, to ASDX 743), 9954 (to BCOL 747), & 9957 (to BCOL 750).

The power, cars and caboose were all owned by Shamrock Coal Company and used to haul coal to power plants in South Carolina and south Georgia. The SD40-2s were built to L&N specs, and crewed by L&N or Clinchfield crews (later SBD crews). The power would eventually be sold to British Columbia Railroad.
