SOU 2-8-0 722         
A lucky railfan was “shooting the rods” on Southern Railway 2-8-0 722 at Meridian, Mississippi. The locomotive and its train were on a ferry trip from New Orleans to Birmingham, and they were going to spend the night in Meridian. Lubricating the rods was a regular task at most stops during the Southern’s steam program, and members of the sponsoring organizations were sometimes called upon to help out with this task. Obviously, I wasn't dressed for the occasion!
