GSMRR No 1755 |

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 |
| 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. |
