Bisso Switchers
Title:  Bisso Switchers
Description:  Former Texas Pacific-Missouri Pacific Terminal Railroad of New Orleans (TPMPT) 0-6-0 numbers 1 and 2 were photographed in September 1951 at their new home, the New Orleans Coal & Bisso Towboat Co. The locos had been built by Alco-Richmond in June 1907 (42928-42929) as Trinity & Brazos Valley 75 and 76, for use at Galveston; but following the T&BV’s bankruptcy in 1914, the railroad lost its access to Galveston from Fort Worth over the Santa Fe and the two switchers became redundant.

The City of Houston bought the two locomotives via the Barry Equipment Co. in 1917 and they arrived on 31 March lettered Houston Municipal 1 and 2. They were leased to the International & Great Northern from March 1918 until October 1921, and were sold to Grant Locomotive and Car Works [of Houston] in1922. They subsequently moved to the TP-MPT where they retained their previous numbers.

In early 1948 the TP-MPT received four Alco S2 diesels, and the 0-6-0’s were sold to Bisso by August 1949. Besides operating coal-burning towboats and ferries, Bisso also provided coal for other vessels and used its locos to move hopper cars from a 2-track yard along the New Orleans Public Belt then up the Mississippi River levee to its coal-handling facility along the river. Bisso’s coaling operation ended around 1955, and with it, the need for any locomotives. No. 1 disappeared, and was probably scrapped; but No. 2 remained on Bisso property until 2010, when it was donated to the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust. (approximate date of photo)

On 2 May 1959 the trains’ eastern terminal was cut back from Ocean Springs to Pass Christian, and they were discontinued on 6 May 1964. FP7 654 had been built in July 1951 and spent much of its life on the Mobile Division. It was one of the last FP7’s on the L&N roster and was retired in September 1974, then traded-in to EMD.

IC Locomotives at Mays Yard
Title:  IC Locomotives at Mays Yard
Description:  Illinois Central “improved” 2-8-2 1672 and four other freshly-serviced locomotives were simmering away on the ready track at the railroad’s MAYS YARD, just west of New Orleans. The yard never had a turntable, so locomotives were turned a wye. The track in the foreground is the north leg of the wye, while the south leg is on the other side of the engine house which can be seen in the background on the left. The 1672 was built by Lima in 1918 as IC 1882, was renumbered 1370 in April 1943, renumbered 1672 in March 1954 and scrapped in July 1956, so we can narrow the time period of this photo by these last two dates.

After this building closed, trains 9 and 12 continued to stop here until they made their last runs on 6 May 1964.

Pedestrian Overpass
Title:  Pedestrian Overpass
Description:  For many years this pedestrian overpass allowed people using the Canal Street ferry to avoid six railroad tracks, owned by the Southern Pacific, Louisville & Nashville and New Orleans Public Belt. From 1902 until 1954 the L&N railroad station was in the open area on the left of the walkway and was used by up to 20 trains a day, many of which blocked Canal Street as they loaded or unloaded passengers. After L&N passenger trains relocated to the new Union Passenger Terminal in April 1954, the rail traffic here consisted of infrequent freight trains so the overpass fell out of use and was removed in the 1960’s. The building in the left background at No. 1 Canal Street belonged to the Alcoa Steamship Company.
