| Camaraderie flourished aboard this passenger train, a War
Eagle Special taking Auburn fans to Atlanta for the 1939 Georgia Tech football
game. Elizabeth "Lib" Harwell and husband-to-be Jack Dunlop, a Delta
Sigma Phi fraternity member, are the first couple seated at left.
They later were longtime operators of Dunlop & Harwell real estate
in Auburn. Other Delta Sigs in the coach include Freddie Bass, foreground,
with a hand on his chin; Bert Simpson, sitting on the arm of a seat and
facing the Dunlops; and Roger Hamil, to the left rear of Simpson with his
hand on his hat. Riding a War Eagle Special to a game in Birmingham
or Atlanta: It didn't get much better than that! -- Photo: AU Archives |
