Baldwinsaurus Mississipius
Title:  Baldwinsaurus Mississipius
Description:  During the late '70s and early '80s the Columbus & Greenville was a real throwback road, being a common carrier with large Baldwins in use on a daily basis. DRS-6-4-15 604 is shown here, about a year before the GP7s arrived to replace them. These units didn't seem to change much since built in 1949; the slatted pilot is a nice touch and the odd pneumatic MU arrangement stands out.
