White flags indicating an extra train.....an almost forgotten aspect of not too long ago.

Really nice photo. Lots of work on the hood. I love the white flags but still can't get used to long end first.

I don't recognize the name of the sublettering on the cab. I believe this unit is active today on the Georgia Southwestern Railroad. Great shot!
