L&N 956         
Despite having been built the same month and year and having the same horsepower rating, an RS11 and a GP18 nevertheless made up an unlikely mine run pair at Glomawr, KY. L&N 956 was ex-SCL 1208, nee-SAL 106, L&N 901 was nee-L&N 461:2, later became SBD 1067. And yes, the hoppers were rocking almost as much as they appear to be. Date approximate.
