SOU 5080 leads train #220
Title:  SOU 5080 leads train #220
Description:  6.23.1981 Charlotte. Taken on the mainline that passes through the former township of Newell located on the northern suburbs of Charlotte, SOU 5080 leads a quartet northbound powering train #220, Southern's hotshot TOFC/COFC consist at the time. If you look closely you'll see a crewman leaning out of the window of the lead engine waving with both hands. Train operators were so much more friendly back then.
