LN E6A #772 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Originally built as Louisville & Nashville E6A #452B in the coupled pair set, this loco was renumbered and then repainted around 1957 into the drab dark blue for passenger service - a cost cutting measure by the directors. The unit was eventually scrapped in 1971. The photo is from the H. N. Proctor collection but no photographer listed. |
