RAILROAD CALENDAR
for 2010
- $12.00

The 2010 calendar is a celebration of the 100th birthday of S&A 750. She was built in 1910 by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway. 750 is a light Pacific (4-6-2) with 69 inch driving wheels. Originally numbered 80 for the FEC, she was sold to the Savannah and Atlanta Railway in 1935 when the FEC replaced her and her sisters with larger power. She was renumbered, rebuilt and released as 750. She lasted on the S&A until 1962 when the Central of Georgia assumed operation of the S&A.

The Atlanta Chapter of the NRHS was the recipient of the donation and began operating her out of Atlanta on excursions. From the mid-60’s through 1973 she operated in the Southern’s steam excursion program. Rebuilt in 1983 by Norfolk Southern in Birmingham, AL, she was last in service with the New Georgia Railroad (excursions) during the 1980’s. She is now on display at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Georgia.

This calendar is a tribute to a lady we all love, S&A 750, who turns the big 100 this year.
