SAL 4501
Title:  SAL 4501
Description:  Aside from the copy maker's name there was no information on the slide. Thanks to Gary Hart in the comments for filling in the correct year (1956), photographer (Clerence Cade), copy maker (W. B. Folsom), and location (Columbus, GA). It would be nice to get the story on the saddle tank to the Centipede's side, or for any part of this photo really. The date (aside from the year) is approximate. From the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

NW 1218
Title:  NW 1218
Description:  After riding behind the 1218 from Birmingham to Columbus Ga, my friend and I got off to get some photos. We picked this spot to get a shot of the 1218 backing back towards the yard. There were two other photographers looking at this same spot. One spoke to a near by Police Officer and then the officer used his car to stop traffic. This left a clear shot of the train on the street. A shot from one of those two other photographers appeared in Trains Magazine soon after.
