L&N Train No. 7 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville K-5 class Pacific 282 was leading Number 7 along the Mississippi River at New Orleans, just a block away from the train's destination at the Canal Street Station. The tracks on the left of the train belonged to the Southern Pacific, while most of those on the other side were owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. The grade crossing under the fourth car was Conti Street and the transit shed in the center of the image was on the Bienville Street Wharf. The tall buildings in the left background, including the new construction, were the Jax Brewery. (approximate month and day) |

L&N Train No. 10 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville K-5 class 4-6-2 282 was leading train No. 10 into the curve at the intersection of North Peters Street and Elysian Fields Avenue, just a few minutes after leaving the railroad's Canal Street Station. The tracks in the right foreground belonged to the Southern Pacific, while those on the other side of the train were owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. L&N 282 was a USRA design light Pacific and was one of the last 4-6-2's built for the L&N. It was one of a dozen K-5's (272-283) built by Alco-Brooks in 1924, and was retired on 8 January 1953. The steamship JAMES LYKES was docked on the other side of the Esplanade Avenue Wharf. For many years the Lykes Brothers Steamship Company had a major presence in the port here. The ship was a C1-B design cargo vessel launched by Bethlehem Shipbuilding at Sparrows Point, Maryland in 1940 and it was broken up at Panama City, Florida in 1972. (approximate day of photo) |
