OvermodWhose E units were those? And where was that little stretch of single track with white ballast but a single-note horn? It doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter when, South Rampart Street Parade always makes me smile -- it was my father's favorite piece of Dixie and it's now mine.

The units that were seen at the opening of the Jackie Gleason clip were SAL units - it would appear that the train operated PRR - Washington - RF&P - Richmond - SAL to Miami.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

But not a black diamond, it's oil-fired.
