Southern 722 |
| Description: |
The first Southern Railway steam excursion train into New Orleans was the WALTER DOVE HOMECOMING SPECIAL, which arrived at Union Passenger Terminal on Sunday 28 March 1971 behind 2-8-0 722. (Mr. Dove had been the Southern’s General Road Foreman of Engines and was retiring from a 52-year career with the railroad.) The train had pulled straight into the station, so here on 30 March Mr. Bill Purdie – the Southern’s Master Mechanic-Steam – was looking down from the cab of the locomotive as NOUPT SW8 number 1 was preparing to turn it on the wye. The 722 subsequently ran a couple of excursions from New Orleans to Hattiesburg and back before heading for home on 10 April. |

Southern Steam Special |
| Description: |
The 1973 national convention of the National Railway Historical Society was held in New Orleans, and the main event was this steam excursion over the Louisville & Nashville to Pascagoula, Mississippi and back. The train included 2-8-0 722 with water tender WT 51, 2-8-2 4501 with the WT 50, and 18 cars: sleeper 2422 LAKE PEARL, combine 726, coaches 1087, 1081 and 1086, commissary car CG 405, coaches 3659, 1067, 1068, 1037, 1036 and 1034, commissary car 4061, coaches 1038, 1039, 1046, 1069 MISSIONARY RIDGE and 1056 LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.Here - under dismal skies - was the westbound run (southbound by the L&N timetable) making the second of two photo run-bys on the Bay St. Louis trestle. Only one run-by was planned, but two of the passengers - SCL president Prime Osborne and Southern Railway president Graham Claytor - saw how much fun all of the photographers were having and decided to do this one more time! This bridge was fairly new, having been opened for traffic on 2 August 1967. |

| Description: |
On a Monday morning Southern Railway Mikado 4501 and Illinois Central Gulf GP10 8316 were stopped in front of the Southern's depot at Slidell, Louisiana.

IC 4-8-2 2542 |
| Description: |

It has 30x30-cylinders, 70-inch drivers, a boiler pressure of 240 pounds and weighs 409,500 pounds.

In 2000 it was transferred to the McCOMB RAILROAD MUSEUM and moved to a sheltered site on the north side of the former IC depot. The 2542 is one of only two preserved IC Mountains, the other being the 2500 at Centralia, Illinois. |

Best Friend |
| Description: |
The Southern Railway's replica of the BEST FRIEND OF CHARLESTON was giving rides to the public on a siding just north of the railroad's station in Slidell, Louisiana. The train is now behind the Charleston Visitor Center, so we'll probably never see anything like this again. |

S&A Pacific 750 |
| Description: |
Former Savannah & Atlanta Pacific 750 was ringing its bell on a Southern Railway DEEP SOUTH STEAM EXCURSION at Hattiesburg, Mississippi. These trips were usually handled by Mikado 4501, but that loco was out of service, so the 750 was being used with water tender W.T. 52 and FP7's 6138 and 6147. The train was preparing to return to New Orleans. |

NO&GC 1744 |
| Description: |
This was the inaugural run of the BIG EASY STEAM TRAIN, the New Orleans & Gulf Coast Railroad's short-lived excursion service out of Belle Chasse, Louisiana. This train consisted of NO&GC (ex-SP) 2-6-0 1744, NO&GC (ex-LIRR) car 2014, MTDX (ex-Metra) cars 7665 and 7680, and three F-units.

SP 745 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific (T&NO) Mikado 745 was photographed from a moving vehicle along Louisiana Highway 631 as it headed west from New Orleans on the BNSF SUNSET ROUTE. The photo was taken between Paradis and Des Allemands as the 745 was beginning the first leg of a state-wide tour. SP freight engines never had white-stripped running boards or driver tires, but we'll overlook that on this fine, sunny April morning. The plaque on the tender was made when the locomotive was donated to the City of New Orleans in 1956. |
