In a modeling HO Forum thread, FriscoBob has mentioned needing some SCL power as part of his engine roster. Bob- You have me curious. Where was the connection between the Seaboard Coast Line RR, and the Frisco? Right now I can't picture it, but must be in the vicinity of Florida/Alabama? Did they have some sort of run through arrangements? Did this pre-date the SCL (SAL RR?) Boxcab E50
Like Larry said........hotshot freights were interchanged at Birmingham between Frisco and ACL/SCL. Such examples would be hotshot train QLA (Quanah-Los Angeles), the hottest of the hot freights on Frisco. IIRC, its eastbound counterpart was train CTB (California-Tulsa-Birmingham). Both trains ran west of Tulsa to Floydada, TX, and later to Avard, OK for handoff to & from the Santa Fe (this actually happened down the line a bit from Avard at Waynoka). ACL and SCL diesels could be seen on some Frisco freights between Birmingham and either Kansas City or Tulsa. I'm sure that Memphis-KC fast frights such as the NWF also had SCL diesels- I know they had UP power from time to time.
The run-thru agreements also worked the other way. I have several photos of Frisco locomotives taken at Greenwood, South Carolina from 1971 thru 1973 and at Raleigh, North Carolina in 1973.
