This the MP Race Street Yard, which was dismantled in early 1984. The white building barely visible on the left is the yard office, and the GP15 behind it is waiting for its next job. The track directly in front of the camera, running away from us along South Front Street, belonged to the ICG and ended at Levee Yard. The large, low building right on the other side of the Mississippi River bridge covered both the ICG Levee Yard and the L&N Julia Street Yard. It was an exhibit hall built for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, and is now a part of the ERNEST MORIAL CONVENTION CENTER. The three covered locomotives on the right were General Electric U18A1A's bound for Indonesia. |
