    Rich, Thank You for posting the link!!! All of the photos are great. My favorite photo is of 915 going thru a super elevated curve.

    Still working on catching up on back messages. Rich, this is a real gem.

    I noticed there's a photo Trains 105 and 106 meeting at Winfield, AL in 1955. Not sure which one's which, but they both have Redbirds on the point in matching white-outlined "Cat Whiskers," or FR-P3 scheme as designated by Mike Condren in FMIG Newsletter #42

    In any event, I started to say that this same photo is in the book Night Trains: The Pullman System in the Golden Years of American Rail Travel by Peter Maiken.

    At a recent train show, I picked up the book Steel Wheels Rolling, A Personal Journey of Railroad Photography by J. Parker Lamb for $1.00; a true steal. What wonder shots.
