This was a view looking east along the Illinois Central Gulf (former Mississippi Central) from Mississippi Highway 43 in Silver Creek. The switch engine on the right was Columbia & Silver Creek (CLSL) SW600 number 9, one of only 15 units of that model. It was built as McClouth Steel No. 9 for use at Trenton, Michigan. The CLSL operated over 29 miles of former ICG (Gulf & Ship Island) track between Columbia and Silver Creek. |

| Title: |
Columbia & Silver Creek 9 |
| Description: |
This SW600 was built as EMD serial number 19301 in June 1954, and is one of only 14 examples of this model. It and its twin, No. 8, were bought by McClouth Steel for use at Trenton, MI. No. 9 then went through several changes in ownership, becoming Olin Chemical No. 9 for use at Pasadena, TX; then Louisiana & Pine Bluff No. 9 at Huttig, AR. After the L&PB shut down, it worked at the Olin Kraft paper mill in Monroe before becoming Columbia & Silver Creek (CLSL) No. 9 on the Marion County Railroad Authority's ex-ICG line between Columbia and Silver Creek. After Georgia Pacific became to the operator of the Columbia-Silver Creek line, No. 9 moved to the CLSL's new operation on the former ICG line between Taylorsville and Soso, MS. |

| Description: |
Thanks to Mike Palmeiri for the use of this photo, CLSL ran from my parents' hometown, Taylorsville, Miss., to Soso, In the early 1980s, there was a beat-to-hell green unit that wobbled over the old track, but I can't locate a photo I took or find a photo of the green unit. |
