Re: NNG- Southern 630 - '21st Century Steam'
| March 16, 2013 05:09PM |
Hi,
My first Southern Steam Program ride (December 1970) was a ferry move of 630 from up north and on to Birmingham. Dad and I rode up to Gainesville in a short string of passenger cars added to the Crescent Limited (or maybe the Southerner). The diesel powered intercity dropped us off in Gainesville.
630 took us back to Peachtree Station Atlanta.
