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. |

Well-weathered Seaboard System U30B 5540 was leading the southbound STELLA TURN through the siding at Gonzalez, for a meet with No. 605. This 6-day local originated at Goulding Yard in Pensacola, and was returning home. The train's primary purpose was switching and lining up cars at the paper mill at Cantonment and interchange with the Frisco. Stella is the next station north of Cantonment; however, the train seldom went that far unless it had business at the small woodyard that used to be located there. |
