| Title: |
Southern Railway No. 193 |
| Description: |
A group of railfans were watching the cabooses of Southern Railway train No. 193 roll across the Richburg Road grade crossing atop of Richburg Hill. This is at the top of a six-mile climb out of the Leaf River valley in Hattiesburg, with a maximum grade of .75 percent. From the grade crossing, the line is on a steadily descending grade for the next six miles towards Purvis, so the train was moving along quite nicely by the time the cabooses passed here. No. 193 was the run-through train with the Southern Pacific between Birmingham and Houston via New Orleans. |
