Gainsville Midland RR 2-10-0 at Winder, Georgia. Date must be wrong, as the engine was still running in 1954, 1974 maybe?

You are correct. The date should be 1974. I've already corrected it on my website. (That's me in the picture and I wasn't even born in 1954.)

Wow, that takes me back.

Winder is my Dad's home town and we visited relatives there (well, actually on a form north of town) every year all the time I was growing up. I always wheedled a visit with 208.

That's the old display location by the textile mills on the east side of downtown. The current display is next to the SAL depot, now Chamber of Commerce, in the center of town. The move took place about 1982; I was fortunate to be in town to see it.
