The Final Day of 1910 Football Season Is Here The Final of 1910 Football Season Is Here | f Day ___—.... ! ALABAMA AFTER THE FOOTBALL HEROES OF WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY | | POLLARD’S SCALP THIS AFTERNOON This afternoon at S o'clock at the fair grounds the football teams of Alabama and Washington and I,ec clash. The game promises to be a good one— with the winner in doubt. The odds, true, favor the Virginians, hut the odds are not long, and those who wager their coin arc acting very discretely. The Virginians are coached this season by Dr. Pollard, the famous wizard who made former Alabama teams famous throughout the south. The Alabamians are very anxious to defeat, not Washing- ton and Lee so much, but Pollard. The Virginians are determined, on the other hand, to win for their coach against his Old pupils. from the The game will be hard fought dropping of the hat.

Anyone familiar with the name of Frank Ardrey knows of Frank’s reputation as one of the South’s leading black & white photographers from the post-WWII era. Pick up most any book of Southeastern railroad pho- tography from the period, and you’ll find examples of Frank’s classic shots of steam and first-generation die- sel power in an around the Birmingham District. With the passing of steam, Frank laid down his camera and retired to his photo lab, where he spent many happy hours developing untold prints from his large format negative collection to sell and trade with other photographers. Then in the mid-1960s, Frank picked up a 35mm cam- era and set out to document the remaining small-town On one of his depot junkets, Frank grabbed this well-framed shot of railroad depots before they, too, had all disappeared. Southern’s “Birmingham Special” at Attalla, AL in January 1967 What isn’t generally known is that during his depot rambles, Frank also photographed the trains that happened by, much as he did back in the day when he would shoot the occasional diesel-powered train as he waited to take a steam shot. But with one significant differ- ence: While the bulk of his early photography was black & white, Frank’s later shots were taken in color! According to son Carl, from the mid-60s to mid-70s, Frank catalogued around 2,500 Kodachrome slides of freight and passenger trains across the Southeast.

    The Mid-South Flyer Spring 2017 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Spring Meeting Boyhood memories of a special steam engine Back in the day, most young boys developed a fascination for trains from playing with their first toy train set, or in more recent times, from watching Thomas the Tank Engine on TV. But in the case of MidSouth member Warren Jones, a childhood infatuation for a certain steam engine ignited a life-long love for trains, and steam engines in particular. That special steam engine was Gainesville Midland #301, a 2-8-0 Consolidation-type locomotive built in 1920 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. No. 301 was a familiar sight Gainesville Midland #301 around Warren’s childhood home in Gainesville, Georgia, where the railroad literally ran through his back yard. Warren recounts growing up in a railroad family and his love affair with the Gainesville Midland in an article ap- pearing in Good Old Days Magazine. He will reprise his story with personal anecdotes and photographs at the next meeting of the MidSouth Chapter on Saturday, April 22, at 2 PM in the historic Leeds Depot. The following article excerpts provide a preview of Warren’s presentation. “The year was 1952 in Gainesville, Georgia. I was ten years old, and the location was a small Southern Railroad section house with the Gainesville Midland Railroad New Holland branch forming the boundary of the back yard, a short stone’s throw from the house. The house faced the Southern double track mainline, a long stone’s throw away.

The song was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren while traveling on the South- ern Railway’s “Birmingham Special” train. The song tells the story of traveling from New York City to Chattanooga by train.

  • Appendix C NRV Rail History
    Appendix C NRV Rail History C1 BRIEF HISTORY OF PASSENGER RAIL IN THE NEW RIVER VALLEY Photo: Radford Heritage Foundation The New River Valley has a rich history of passenger rail service. The railroad reached what is now Radford in 1854, eventually providing a rail connection between Lynchburg and Bristol. Scheduled rail service on this line began in approximately 1856. The Norfolk & Western Railway’s extension line from Radford west to the coalfields, along the south shore of the New River, reached the Town of Narrows in 1882. The Virginian Railway, along the north shore of the New River, began operation in 1909. The Norfolk & Western’s passenger service offered a more fully developed menu of options, while the Virginian Railway offered limited passenger service. To serve the coal mines at Merrimac, the Virginia Anthracite Coal and Railway Company, built a branch rail line in the early 1900s that connected with the Norfolk & Western at Cambria, which is now part of Christiansburg. This line was eventually extended to Blacksburg with passenger service between Cambria and Blacksburg commencing in the fall of 1904. The new passenger rail service was a significant improvement over the largely unimproved roads in existence at that time. Owing to the berries that grew along the route, the line was affectionately referred to by locals as the “Huckleberry”. For many years, the Virginia Tech Corp of Cadets traveled to the annual VPI-VMI football game at Roanoke via passenger trains originating on the Huckleberry line. Norfolk & Western assumed ownership of the Huckleberry branch in 1912. Scheduled passenger service on the line ended in 1957.

  • Modeling Details-Southern
    MODELING DETAILS-SOUTHERN Reference Source: http://www.hosam.com/srr/srr.html Southern Check Digits 08/23/98 SEMRA list Not sure if I can make this simple but here goes: Southern used A, F, H, J, K, L, R, T, W & X on their engines. let us assign numbers to the above digits A=0, F=1, H=2, J=3, K=4, L=5, R=6,T=7, W=8 AND X=9. Take the engine number say 3971 which is an X. Add first number to 2 times the second number plus the third number plus 2 times the fourth number. 3+(2*9)+7+(2*1)= now this won’t work if the formula is applied straight away. If any result such as (2*9) which is 18 then you use the two digits in 18 as 1+8. Now the formula becomes 3+(1+8)+7+2=21. WE are not there yet. You subtract the answer from the next larger even number in units of 10. In this example this would be 30-21=9 OR X. Another example might be engine 701 which is a J. Since there are only 3 digits simply put a zero in front. This will give 0+(2*7)+0+(2*1)= 0+(1+4)+0+(2)=7 10-7=3 which is J. ATLAS HIGH-HOOD GP-38'S Guys, I was just looking over one of the new Atlas GP-38HH models and I noticed a detail part that was missing from the shell and one that some of you may want to add.
