CAGY 701 ex-SOU
Title:  CAGY 701 ex-SOU
Description:  CAGY's ex-Southern Ry GP7 701. I guess CAGY found it cheaper to place their logo on the unit rather than paint it? Notice the "SOUTHERN" coming thru the black paint on the longhood.

Hmmm
Title:  Hmmm
Description:  If you look hard enough you can see the old SOU number under the paint. Apparently the same number stencil that was used for the C&G cab number was also the same used for the number boards.

CAGY 701
Title:  CAGY 701
Description:  The engine that wolud go on to make me a Southern Railway fan, the CAGY 701. Ex SOU (CNO&TP) 6247. Unfortunately almost 4 1/2 years after this picture was taken, it and the unit behind it were scrapped in April 2009. Luckily though the scrapper allowed me to get the number boards so I have that if nothing else.
