A little online research revealed that Modern Tire Recappers was located in Talladega, AL & ACL did run through that town.

Might have been a Modern Recapper in Talladega,but I don't think this is Talladega.Looks like a six axle engine forth back.These cam in then early 60's.In 1964 ACL did not have passenger service to Talledega.I think this is Wilson,NC,looking north.Uncle Joe

I don't know where else it is, but it's definitely not Talladega.

Likely no earlier than mid-1964. Fourth unit back is a GE U25C - ACL received their first order of these in 12/63, and the foliage behind the F and the shirtsleeves on the people at far left show that this was not a wintertime scene.

No doubt, Wilson, NC. PSGR train northbound on the West Track is 376 & FRT southbound on the East Track is either #105 or #109. Would bet its 109 account of the power. This was the hottest southbound at the time and regularly ran with six or seven units. I was there then On the Richmond Division thanks for showing how it really was; a guy had to 'walk a mile" when an engine alarm bell went off with consists like this.

Better check the Date of this Picture. The fourth unit back is a U25C. U25Cs for the ACL. were built between 12-63 & 11-65. And ACL. Just started repainting there engines from Purple to Black in 1959 & 1960. And the Condition of 433. is pretty worn It as if the should 1966. And 433. is Ex-ACL. 878. which was Renumbered in 1965. i
