Back in 1938, Southem's famous switch engine, "Maud," had her picture taken while she entertained a couple of rail-fan friends-Lambdin Kay, then general manager of Atlanta's radio station WSB and now retired (in cab), and Ernest Rogers of THE ATLANTA JOURNAL. The picture was sent in by R. N. Spencer.

D. J. Salley, Jr., of Orangeburg, S. C., sent in this photograph taken in the early part of October, 1900. It shows the 26th President of the United States-then a vice-presidential candidate-addressing a crowd at Southern's Orangeburg station from the rear platform of his special train. Who was he? Theodore Roosevelt, who became President a little less than a year later, following the assassination of President William McKinley.
