MP Bicentennial Units |
| Description: |
Missouri Pacific bicentennial geeps 1776 and 1976, along with MP15DC 1554, had just brought an eastbound transfer run across the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE, and were now shoving their train into the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad's EAST BRIDGE YARD, where the cars would be picked up by the Southern Railway. The orange car on the right was the NOPB's fire car for the bridge. |

| Title: |
MP GP18 1976 |
| Description: |
This Missouri Pacific Bicentennial unit was built as the 481 in December 1962 and was renumbered 1976 in the general system renumbering of 1973. It was repainted into bicentennial colors in 1976 and was retired in 1984. Somewhere along the line, it received paper air filters, a feature that was not very common on older MP geeps. |
