Photographer- unknown- from my personal collection.
Southern 1401, in all her Green & Gold glory awaits her second attempt to be moved into the Smithsonian. The first time the 1401 was lifted was at the Navy Yard a few weeks earlier in the month. The route chosen could not accommodate the weight of the Pacific. So, she was set back on rails, moved about 3 miles west to the 6th Street spur and lifted again, this time by a pair of Southern Rwy wreck derricks. This move was successful, and today the 1401 resides in the Smithsonian for all to see.
Selected photos of locomotives, passenger cars, and rolling stock in the Southern's livery as well as other assets once belonging to or used by the Southern.
