SSW 6681
Title:  SSW 6681
Description:  An estbound Espee train -- probably the HOSOM -- nears the end of its journey from Houston to New Orleans as it approaches Avondale Yard. The motive power was a pair of GP35's and GP49 4604, and the appearance of Cotton Belt 6681 -- the highest numbered SP/SSW GP35 -- makes quite a contrast with that of Southern 2670! The train had 151 cars and SP caboose 1903.
