Great find, Warren!? Wish we knew more, but this is still a fascinating ride on the Kodak time machine.

I was looking through some old slides and I ran across an old Ektachrome with some mold or mildew issues. Not sure which. I could crop to just the engine, but the surroundings sort of make the shot. This was taken in February 1960 at West Point, Georgia. these folks don't look like railfans. Note many of the men are still wearing hats which remained a sign of railroad supervision long after 1960. This could be a special trip for railroad executives or shippers, I wish I knew the back story. The CV coach directly behind the engine is named Central Park, I wonder if it still exists. I can not make out anything on the trailing coach. Why am I posting this image to a TAG Railway board? CV 21 was formerly TAG 201, the last steam engine TAG ever bought new. It also is one of only two TAG steam engines known to still exist. It is at the Southeast Railway Museum, north of Atlanta.
