SOU 2761         
While assigned to yard and transfer service at New Orleans, Southern GP38 2761 was "customized" with green paint insde the "O" in its road name. While this was a standard feature on the railroad's freight cars -- a part of its "Southern Gives a Green Light to Innovation" marketing campaign -- it was wasn't suppose to show up on locomotives! The 2761 was built with a small 1700-gallon fuel tank, but here it has a 3,000-gallon tank from a retired SD35. The building on the right is the tower at Oliver Yard. (month approximate)

Earl Hampton General Dave Honold used to always say......"the 2761 wants to go to Chattanooga" when something was wrong with it. This one is my favorite SOU engine, have it modeled on my model layout. 11/17/2010 12:27:16 PM
