Southern Local |
| Description: |
During WWII the U.S. Government built an aircraft assembly plant along Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans and the Southern Railway constructed a 1-mile spur to serve it. Here, Consolidated Vultee (later known as Convair) built about 220 PBY-5 CATALINA amphibious patrol planes. Unlike most aircraft plants, this one had no runways; so each finished plane was moved down a ramp into the lake where it took off! After the war the plant was sold to American Standard and was used to manufacture plumbing fixtures. Up into the 1980’s the plant was served by the northbound local out of New Orleans, but later it was switched by a yard job. In this undated view the local was pulling out of the plant, crossing Leon C. Simon Dr. and about to cross Franklin Ave. The spur was removed after the plant closed. (date of photo unknown) |

Floyd Volz |
| Description: |
Long-time New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal supervisor Floyd Volz was standing next to Amtrak dining car 8099 as it sat in the station on the PANAMA LIMITED. The car had been built by Pullman-Standard in December 1949 as Norfolk & Western 493 GENERAL WILLIAM MAHONE, but its name was removed in 1957. Mahone was a confederate military officer and a prominent figure in the early history of the N&W. The car was renumbered Amtrak 8099 in July 1972, retired in May 1977 and sold to the Lake Shore Chapter NRHS. It was subsequently purchased by the Norfolk Southern who numbered it 18 and restored its original name, and then renamed it NEW ORLEANS in 2015. |

Southern Railway Train No. 2 |
| Description: |
An hour after leaving New Orleans, Southern Railway’s northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT was pulling up to the station in Slidell, Louisiana for its first stop. The train had its usual motive power, four green E8A units, along with a couple of deadheading cars on the head end. Sleeper 2012 SALUDA RIVER wasn’t unusual; but combine 727 FORT MITCHELL was, as this may have been the only time that the 727 had been on this end of the railroad. (approximate date of photo) |
