The 8,000- mile Southern Rail
way System became on June 17
the largest railway In the coun
try to be completely dleselized
when the last steam locomotive
In service on the railway pulled
a local freight train Into Chatta
nooga, Tenn., and the fire was
knocked from Its firebox.
"It has taken us 123 years to
put out that fire," the South
ern's President Harry A. DeButts
quipped as he announced the
find of the steam motive power
era on the Southern.
He was roerrlng to the tact
that one of the System's prede
cessor lines on December 25,
1830, put into operation the his
toric B'est Frle'nd of Charles
ton," the first steam locomotive
to be run In regular, scheduled
railway service on the American
continent.
Cost- of the 880 modern dlesel
locomotive units which have
made the Southern an all dles
el" syslem' is estimated to be In
excess of $123 million.
The railway began to "put out
the fire" in 1939- when it placed
in service lt? first diesel locomo
tives ? - six 750 h. p. diesel-pow
ered passenger units. In 1940,
eighty dlesel switching locomo-,
tives were bought and In 1941
the Southern put Jn service the
world's first diesel road freight
locomotive.
Also In 1941 the railway intro
duced two new diesel ? powered
streamliners ? "The Southern
er" and "The Tennessean" ? and
put diesel power on the all-Pull
man "Crescent."
Since World War II the rise
of the dlesel on the Southern
Railway Sy?tem has been rapid,
with dlesels being added at a
rate that often exceeded 100
units a year. On June 17 the
railway reached 100 per cent dl
esellzatlon and teh last steam
locomotive was on its way to the
Iron Horse "boneyard" to be cut
up for scrap.
