L&N Mikado 1514
Title:  L&N Mikado 1514
Description:  After having set off its through freight at GENTILLY YARD, Louisville & Nashville J-3 class Mikado 1514 leads an auxiliary water car, a box car, and a caboose southbound across Canal Street. The box car is probably LCL (less-than-carload freight) consigned to Acme Fast Freight. After Work War II – and lasting into the early diesel era – it was common for freight trains to leave most of their cars at GENTILLY, and then bring their LCL and perishable cars all the way to JULIA STREET YARD. The vehicles on the right are waiting to board the Mississippi River ferry to the suburb of Algiers. (approximate date of photo)
