In early May, I visited the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer to check out their excursion operations. I was expecting one of the Geeps (SR 2601 or N&W 620) to be leading the train, but I was surprised to see FP7 6133 in charge!
This beautiful "covered wagon" from 1950 was still going strong, showing how the Southern Railway embraced dieselization - ending steam operations only three years later. 6133 has also seen service as backup and helper power on the Southern's popular steam excursion program during the 1970's.
