GSMRR No 1755
Title:  GSMRR No 1755
Description:  If I recall correctly, this engine is a former GP7 rebuilt to GP9 specifications. 1755 is just tagging along for the westbound ride through the Tuckasegee River Valley and the beautiful western North Carolina countryside.

No 1755
Title:  No 1755
Description:  No 1755 leads No 1751 eastbound at Rhodo. The horn (Nathan P-5?) sounded really great along this section of track, just like the Southern was still around.
