Hey Len,
Great shot! I don't have any NS cabeese shots (yet)
What's in the background? The giant peanut plant? WHere was the shot taken??

Thanks Harold, I think it is one of the old Planters plants in the background. It was taken directly across from the Suffolk depot. An awsome spot for watching trains!

I know exactly where you are talking about. Great spot, but I haven't been back up that way in almost 10 years. My favorite memory from that spot was seeing the BN SD60MAC demonstrator set pass through town pulling a stack train

Here's a NS cab I caught back in 1993. I dated in wrong on the pic. The interior was stripped off all except the bay seats, toolbow & stationary cabinet. 2x4's lined the walls for additional seating.

Neat cabeese... I haven't seen any NS bay cabeese either,,,, long time since I've seen ANY cabeese on NS

Are there still ANY in use? What do they still use them for (if they do?)

 

As far as I know, all of the ex-Sou cabs converted for ballast use are all gone. I could be wrong on this. There are three regular Sou cabs in NC still in use that I know of.
