This train is the northbound South Wind enroute to Chicago. Power for this train alternated between the roads the train traversed; the Atlantic Coast Line, the Illinois Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Here an SAL Alco switcher backs the train into the SAL station.

Hello! This is my first visit to your blog! Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on. You have done a extraordinary job!
Didn't the Louisville & Nashville turn the South Wind over to the Pennsy at Louisville? I'm wondering where the Illinois Central was involved with the South Wind, ACL, L&N, and PRR.
Larry, you are correct. Thanks, after many years I forgot.
I believe the South Wind was an ACL train....SAL did the switching in Miami after the FEC strike when ACL trains ran over SAL to Miami.
