Former L&N U23B 2810 was working as the FLOMATON SWITCHER at the north end of the Seaboard System's Flomaton yard. The coal tower was built in 1943 and stradles the two main tracks, but it saw less than ten years of use before steam disappeared from this part of the L&N. |

L&N 6641 -- one of the Seaboard System's newest cabooses -- is on the rear of train No. 606 as it heads for Pensacola and points east. The L&N got 50 of these from Fruit Growers Express in early 1981, so the car is only four years old. |
