Description
“The Southern Railway under the absolute monarchy of
steam was the most pervasively beautiful carrier I have ever
known, ” wrote David P. Morgan, famed editor of Trains
magazine. The Southern embodied the romantic vision of the South. As
railway historian H. Stafford Bryant Jr. put it, “With the
Southern, it was always Garden Week in Virginia, April on the Habersham
Road, and the Ole Miss game at Tuscaloosa. ” And the
locomotive that personified Southern style was the Ps-4 Pacific.
