S&A 750 |
| Description: |
Savannah & Atlanta 750 leads N&W 611 on a ferry move to Richmond for the 1983 NRHS convention. The interesting thing about this trip was that the fare for the one way trip was $14, vs $19 on Amtrak. Double headed steam, and a bargain to boot!! |

Ceremony |
| Description: |
The Old Dominion Chapter marked their 150th trip on this date. The gent on the left, in white shirt and blue hat, shaking hands, is Jim Bistline, who managed Southerns steam program for many years. I had a chance to chat with him for a few moments, and thank him for all his work bringing steam to those of us "youngsters" who missed it in regular service. Very nice man. |

| Description: |
The Smithsonian moved this Pacific, a Southern PS class engine, inside for display. It was a little too big for the case. |

Just a blur |
| Description: |
As noted in a previous caption, they like the Ps 4s at the Smithsonian. This one is an HO model, running on a layout at the museum. The blur is partly a train too fast for the shutter speed in low light, partly because its moving. |
