Trailing through downntown
Title:  Trailing through downntown
Description:  I went to the old Southern station in downtown Greensboro, and caught a southbound purely by dumb luck. At the time, cabooses were common, and it was no surprise to see this red Southern car bringing up the rear. The Sandersville covered hoppers were common on Southern trains, as they shipped incredible quantities of clay from a quarry in Georgia.

Hi hood GP 30
Title:  Hi hood GP 30
Description:  One feature both N&W and Southern shared was ordering their second generation power with short high hoods. On most units, it made for a brick like appearance; on the GP 30's, which both roads rostered, it was really different. Here's a short hood view of one of Southern's units on one of two trains working Greensboro.

Four axle power
Title:  Four axle power
Description:  Most of the through freights I saw this day had six axle power. One that didn't was this one, which came south with four 4 axle units. Interestingly for you numbercrunchers, the two units to the right had opposing numbers. Note GP 30, number 2625, and ahead of it, GP 35 2526. A GE rounds out the shot.

Moving up
Title:  Moving up
Description:  A new MP 15 works at Pomona Yard in Greensboro. I had been here a year prior when the power was still NW 2s, so the bigger MP 15s were a step up, though I saw them having wheel slip a couple of times when shoving long cuts into the departure tracks.

Vorking hard
Title:  Vorking hard
Description:  New MP 15 2353 pushes hard on a cut of cars being set over for pick up by a later train. The yard was busy enough to keep two switch engines busy all afternoon, and the parade of southbounds was bringing more, even as those trains picked up what the yard jobs had ready.

Left on the main
Title:  Left on the main
Description:  Two uaits work their set off into Pomona Yard as their train waits on the main. The Amtrak station at that time was at the yard office, with e small ticket window and waiting room. I got there around 1 PM that day, waiting for the northbound Crescent, which would arrive around 3:30 AM. I had a front row seat for hours of action ap trains stopped to make ~et offs and pick ups, and the yard engines did their thing in between. It was a great place to see the action.

On into the night
Title:  On into the night
Description:  Well after dark, a southbound works the yard. The traffic here was not monumental-no one will confuse this line with the UP in Nebraska-but it was steady. I was there about 15 hours, and saw 15 or so trains. I didnt keep notes in those days(silly me, theyd be really helpful now, 35 years later), so dont have am exact count, but it seemed like there was a train every hour or so.
