[QUOTE]Originally posted by tarheelman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: The 'Piedmont' made it's final runs just after Thanksgiving in 1976.......so in just 23 months Southern had divested itself of every passenger operation save for the Crescent.....and the steam excursions but they are another story. This was a particularly sad story for me as my first passenger train trips were aboard train #4 from Asheville to Salisbury and then on to visit an aunt in Washington, DC aboard #6, the northbound Piedmont. I developed an affinity for FP7's and dome cars all at the same time! [/QB][/QUOTE]My first passenger train trip was aboard a Southern Railway passenger train from Greensboro to High Point in 1972. However, a friend's Dad used to take us to Southern's Pomona yard in Greensboro from time to time to watch the trains. On the passenger trains, I remember how majestic the EMD E/F locomotives looked (not to mention snazzy in their green, white, and gold paint jobs) and how clean the cars were. [/QB][/QUOTE]
