Hmmm

CAGY 701
Title:  CAGY 701
Description:  The engine that wolud go on to make me a Southern Railway fan, the CAGY 701. Ex SOU (CNO&TP) 6247. Unfortunately almost 4 1/2 years after this picture was taken, it and the unit behind it were scrapped in April 2009. Luckily though the scrapper allowed me to get the number boards so I have that if nothing else.
