Having visited Birmingham twice or three times in the 1970's(I'm not sure), this is the industrial center I remember.

I loved their paint scheme and this shot is great with all the interest in the background.

I notice the Pullman Standard 100-ton "Silversides" coal gondolas make up this train. Nice train to model!

Great photo. Pardon my ignorance, is that a steel mill? It makes for a great background.

If only there was a photo of 3324 with the same numberboards as 3224 in this photo. Btw 3224’s numberboards are my favorite style!
