Seaboard Coast Line "Fruit Growers Express" insulated box car #690521 and caboose #0717          
SCL #690521 was a load of beer destined for a distributor in Talladega, Alabama the following Monday. It was very, very unusual to see loaded cars on Sentell Spur due to the condition of the track. The Lineville Road-Switcher locomotives were almost never located past the point where the caboose is tied down in this photo
