SOU E8A 6909         
While many railroads gave locomitves special paint schemes to celebrate the nation's bicentennial, the Southern Railway applied decals to its passenger units honoring Southern Signers of the Declaration of Independence. This shot of the 6909 outside of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal diesel shop includes all sorts of details, including the General Electric alternators on each axle which were a part of the wheel-slip control system.
