Southern Railway GP38 #2881 in Industry Yard          
Southern Railway GP38 #2881 was built June 1966 for the original Norfolk Southern as #2002 and later became Norfolk Southern #2881 (beginning at the class light and going back to the cab door, the original short hood line can be clearly seen. Southern Railway installed high-short hoods on these units upon acquisition). Unit left roster and became Georgia & Florida Railnet #2881

Charles Burgess General The Southern was crazy about high short hoods to spend the money on equipping this unit with one! Great shot; I remember when this unit ran around on the G&F. 3/14/2012 12:28:52 AM
