Locomotive Review #2: Southern Railway GP50 7077

 This 2nd Locomotive Review is all about Southern Railway GP50 7077. This engine has been on the layout for a few years now and is one of the most common engines that you will see. The photo above shows 7077 going by the railroad crossing near the roundhouse and yard. It is one of 2 GP50's on the layout with the other being the next number 7078. The 2 GP50's are the only Southern Railway locomotives on the layout currently.
