Description
Another Sunshine Region NMRA Yearbook cover, drawn in 1973. In 1939, the Seaboard Air Line Railway streamlined two elderly pacific locomotives to handle the Tampa-St. Petersburg section of the Silver Meteor, as they did not have enough of the new diesels to spare for this short run. The Tampa-St. Pete cars were taken off the New York-Miami streamliner at Wildwood, Florida. These engines were painted in the citrus colors of the Seaboard's diesels: dark green orange, yellow and aluminum. The coal tower stood over the SAL's mainline near Wildwood for many years.

Drawn in ink, original 8.5" x 14" as a cover. Plenty of white space in the upper left for the return address and postal permit. (Cover the left half of the drawing and you see what the front cover looked like.)
