That 4 axle GE is pretty interesting. Is it a former CR unit?

From memory Southern bought the 3500 series about the time it merged with N&W. The first of them at least had Southern paint and markings.

NS purchased Dash 8-32B's 3522-3566 new from GE in 1989. All were delivered in NS paint with SOU sub-lettering.

Southern Railway B30-7A1 units 3500-3521 were the last GE's delivered to Southern prior to the merger with N&W. All were delivered in Southern paint.
