Locomotive visitors to Sweethome Alabama

[Jon Grant 4472]

Although Sweethome Alabama will be operated mostly by CSX and Norfolk Southern power, it will also see visiting diesels, and some steamers from many different railroads, not only from Burlington Northern and Birmingham Southern, but from many other railroads not necessarily associated with Alabama.

Here are the first of an occasional series showing locomotive visitors using Sweethome as the photographic backdrop

Very nice work! The diesels look really great, and the photography compliments the layout. Well done!
