Southern Railway's city ticket office at Augusta, Ga., in 1900 was staffed by (left to right) J. B. Heyward, E: W. Carter, and D. E. Williams, Jr. Apparently it was the custom in those days for men to wear hats while they worked-or maybe the office was drafty. The picture was sent in by Frank L. Jenkins, retired general passenger traffic manager at Washington.

A high-stepping steamer of the sixties was this Baldwin 4-6-0 built for the South Carolina Railroad in 1859. Shelby F. Lowe, yard clerk at Atlanta who sent in this print, identified this as the "W. C. Gatewood." Apparently luckier that some of its contemporaries at eluding the Federal troops (several of the road's locomotives just "disappeared" during the war period) this locomotive served until it was scrapped in 1876.

Engine 315 at Jellico, Tenn., in the late 1890's. TIES' information is that this is a Rogers-built 10-wheeler that was the property of the Louisville Southern when this road became part of Southern Railway in 1894.
