In the bygone era of steam locomotives on the Southern, sights such as this must have inspired many a youngster to become an engineer. This was Southern Railway passenger train No.12 crossing Tugalo River bridge (Georgia-South Carolina State boundary) into South Carolina in 1900. The Southern later re-located this line and the bridge was converted to highway traffic.

Graceful curves and fancy trimming predominated in the architectural design of passenger stations by the Southern-predecessor South Carolina Railway. A typical example is this station and freight shed built by the SCR at Summerville, S. C., sometime in the 1880's and later moved on flat cars to Ladson, S. C., where the picture was made. The buildings were dismantled in 1935.

A gaily fringed, festooned and flag-bedecked engine and tender of the Richmond & Danville Railroad and a "bunch of the boys" were snapped at the old Windsor Street turntable in Atlanta in 1894. Engineer in the cab was C. C. Blackmon. It's a safe bet this was one of the last pictures made of the locomotive with the "R. & D." initials on the side-the Richmond & Danville became part of the Southern Railway Company in July, 1894.
