Posing
Title:  Posing
Description:  The Waynesboro trip is pulled up to let off the riders from its 22 cars, the Southern FP 7s posing at the far end of the platform, with the station at far right. They have recently been renumbered from their 600 series numbers. Interestingly, NS added the computer check letter next to the road numer that Southern was known for.

FP 7
Title:  FP 7
Description:  NS still rostered four of the ex Southern FP 7s, which turned up on excursions on a regular basis. This was on an Alexandria-Front Royal-Hagerstown trip. The untis were being watered before the return trip. They must have been using a garden hose, it took three hours.
