L&N Work Equipment
Description:
This Louisville & Nashville work equipment was parked in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi while the railroad was repairing the extensive damage from
HURRICANE CAMILLE
, which made landfall in this area on 17 August 1969. The green International pickup truck was assigned to the railroad’s 3-man floriculture gang, which was based here. This crew maintained the landscaping around the station here and at Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Mobile. A coast tradition since the 1920’s, their jobs were eliminated soon after this photo.(approximate date of photo)

S&A GP35 2715
Description:
Savannah & Atlanta 2715 was on a westbound transfer run at the Wisner Drive overpass in New Orleans. It was the last of 11 GP35’s bought by the Southern Railway with full S&A lettering in December 1964 and January 1965. The S&A had been owned by the Central of Georgia since 1951, so when the Southern obtained control of the CofG in 1963 it also got the S&A. These units were eventually relettered SOUTHERN with S&A sublettering on the cab, and this was later changed to CG. This loco was retired by the Norfolk Southern in October 1992 and donated to the Coastal Heritage Society in Savannah, where it has been restored as S&A 2715.

Late in the day, and late in its career, Louisville & Nashville train No. 8, the northbound
PAN-AMERICAN

L&N Train No. 8
Description:
Louisville & Nashville train No. 8 – the northbound
PAN-AMERICAN
– was leaving New Orleans shortly before it was discontinued on 1 May 1971. The train was operating over the Southern Railway’s New Orleans Terminal Co. subsidiary through City Park, on its way from the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal’s
EASTERN CONNECTION
at
EAST CITY JUNCTION
(milepost NOT-3.4) to the L&N connection at
L&N JUNCTION
(M.P. NOT-6.9). The operator at
EAST CITY JUNCTION TOWER
had put No. 8 on the “wrong” (i.e., southbound) track because an eastbound Southern Pacific transfer run had just passed him and was occupying the northbound track. The Southern identified these tracks as north- and southbound, even though they ran from west to east! (approximate date of photo)

SOU 2-8-0 722
Description:
Passengers and onlookers were gathered around Southern Railway 2-8-0 722 at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on Saturday 10 April 1971. The locomotive had arrived in New Orleans on 28 March for the city’s very first Southern steam excursions, which ran to Hattiesburg, Mississippi and back on 3 and 4 April. Here, the steam engine and some cars were about to depart on its ferry trip back to the Southern’s steam shop in Birmingham, although the train only ran as far as Meridian, Mississippi on this day. The Southern allowed passengers to ride on its ferry trips, when equipment was being moved from one location to another.

SOU 2-8-0 722
Description:
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!

On 11 July 1971 Amtrak’s SUNSET LIMITED left Los Angeles for the first time behind former Union Pacific E-units, but somewhere out in the desert the locos overheated so the train arrived in New Orleans behind a trio of Southern Pacific engines: SP U25B 6736, SP GP35 6547, SP FP7 6454.

American Freedom Train
Description:
This aerial photo of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was taken from the
PLAZA TOWER
building across Loyola Avenue while the
AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN
was on display 3-9 May 1976. At this time NOUPT still looked much as it did it opened in 1954, although one major change was the addition of the
PONTCHARTRAIN EXPRESSWAY
across the upper portion of the image. Below the
EXPRESSWAY
, from left to right were Tracks 12 through 2, with the AFT on display on Track 11 and the 4449 and its tool car on Track 8. The tool car can be seen but the 4449 was hidden by the platform shed. Track 1 had been removed many years earlier to provide vehicle parking. The triangular structure in the left foreground is the service and baggage building and the building in the right foreground is the main post office. Just a few years earlier there was a roof covering six tracks in the empty area where mail was handled. The building on the right with the staggered platforms had been the express building.

Description:
On Sunday afternoon 9 May 1976 Louisville & Nashville GP38-2 units 4114 and 4052 were arriving in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and that night they would depart for Mobile with the
AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN
. The
AFT
had come in to New Orleans a week earlier over the Illinois Central Gulf behind former Southern Pacific 4-8-4 4449; but the L&N would not let the big engine operate over its line along the Gulf Coast, so the train departed behind these geeps while the 4449 headed back north over the ICG, with just its tool car.
