The disappearance of the GP10's from Tuscaloosa earlier this summer
seems to have been temporary.
This photo shows 1058 and
1079, both rare high-nose units.

Another GP10, no. 1084.
|
|
Yet another GP10, no. 1055.

smoke is coming out of the old MidSouth unit.

More of the same train, this time on the trestle over 5th St. in
Northport.

repairs on the lead unit, KCS GP40-2LW no. 4716. Note that the train also
has a white KCS GP38-2 and a MidSouth GP10, making it a veritable feast of
KCS paint schemes.
