    Just out of curiosity, are there any Southern engines left out there that have not been retired and scrapped or painted into the NS paint scheme? I can't remember the last time I saw a Southern engine, and it's frustrating, because I really like Southern.

    So would anyone have any ideas out there?

    The Carolina Southern RR operates an ex-Southern GP30 regularly...

    Also, the NC Transportation Museum operates a GP30 as well!

    Cool, thanks Chessie! [​IMG]

    Unfortunately though, NC is long drive from my part of VA down there, so I won't be seeing any of those trains in person for myself any time soon. LOL!

    But to compensate, I keep my eyes peeled for any ex-Southern engines painted in the NS scheme that are still in service. I still see some from time to time, and try to imagine them in their former scheme. :D
