Southern Railway - freight train numbers circa 1979

[florida581]

I've always enjoyed researching railroad operations, both past and present.  I've compiled this list of Southern Railway freight train numbers from using their "Freight train schedules and blocking instructions" dated Feb 1, 1979.  Most of the train numbers carried over to Norfolk Southern after the merger with N&W in 1982.  Enjoy!
