This was a view from the cab of Louisville & Nashville E7A 780 on train No. 9, the southbound
PAN-AMERICAN
, as it made its way into New Orleans. The train was running alongside Interstate Highway 10, having just passed through
GENTILLY YARD
and crossed the Louisa Street grade crossing. Just ahead was the Southern Railway crossing at
N.E. TOWER
(milepost 803.75), while No. 9’s destination at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was about 10 miles away. The train was discontinued about two years later, on 1 May 1971, with the advent of Amtrak. (approximate date of photo)

Title:
L&N E7A 780
Description:
It's Saturday 1 May 1971, and at midnight Amtrak had taken over or eliminated almost all of the country's long distance passenger trains. Louisville & Nashville E7A's 779 and 780 had just brought the very last L&N passenger train into New Orleans, and were resting at the NOUPT sand tower. In a couple of hours, they would back into the station and then leave with all of the L&N's passenger cars that were still there.
