MP F7A 921 |
| Description: |
When this picture was taken, Southern Railway geeps had been visiting the Missouri Pacific's Avondale Yard, at the west end of the Huey P. Long Bridge, for over a year on a run-through train between Birmingham and Avondale; but for some reason an MP F7 is accompanying the Southern power (GP38 2777, a GP35, a GP30 and another GP38) today. The 921 was originally a Texas & Pacific - the 1571 - as shown by the two headlights, and it would be among the last F-units in service on the MP. It was subsequently renumbered 1921, to make room for a GP38-2, and it was retired just one year after this photo. (approximate month and day) |
