AFT 4449
Title:  AFT 4449
Description:  After the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN ran from Jackson, Mississippi to Baton Rouge over the Illinois Central Gulf, it pulled into the ICG’s NORTH BATON ROUGE YARD. In this view, the 4449 (and its tool car) had run around the train and was about to couple on to the last car so it could pull the train backwards to its display site. The Louisiana state capital building is the tall building on the left.

Daylight and Green Diamond
Title:  Daylight and Green Diamond
Description:  We're standing along the parallel Illinois Central Gulf and New Orleans Public Belt tracks near Jefferson Avenue, where the two main lines of each railroad cross. ICG GP10 8114, SD20 2024 and GP40 3031 are heading away from us, going to Mays Yard after delivering intermodal train No. 55 to the railroad's IMX (InterModal eXchange) at Nashville Ave. and the Mississippi River. Espee 4449 is sitting on the New Orleans Public Belt westbound main track, after having spent a week on display at the 1984 Louisiana World's Fair. Earlier this morning an NOPB switch engine had moved it from the fair site to here, and it is waiting for an ICG switch engine to accompany it to New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The Daylight and its matched set of cars left for home in Portland, Oregon the next morning. Daylight engineer Doyle McCormack has placed the number "5" in the locomotive's train numbers boxes. Number 5 was the westbound ARGONAUT, the secondary train between New Orleans and Los Angeles.
