GLSR Excursion |
| Description: |
Passengers and crew members of this northbound Gloster Southern excursion train had their photo taken behind former Illinois Central Gulf caboose 199452 during the lunch stop at Ethel, Louisiana. The trip ran from the north end of the railroad at Gloster, Mississippi -- site of a Georgia Pacific plywood mill and the reason for the railroad's existence -- south to the ICG connection at Slaughter, Louisiana and back again, and was operated on behalf of the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The gentleman with the gray hat, green jacket and clipboard to the right of the caboose was Russell Tedder of GP, who made the trip possible. GP stopped operating the railroad when the mill closed, and it was subsequently sold to V&S Railway, LLC of Salt Lake City and dismantled. |

Cities of New Iberia |
| Description: |
The Louisiana & Delta had only been in business for nine months when this photo was taken. SW1200 -- the CITY OF NEW IBERIA -- and CF7 2622 rest at the railroad's original engine "terminal" in New Iberia. The railroad's headquarters, located in the former Espee depot, is in the left background. The 1200 was one of six locomotives acquired from the Espee when the L&D began operations on 16 March 1987. It was built in January 1964 as Cotton Belt 1062 and was renumbered 2250 the next year. Ex-Santa Fe 2622 was one of two CF7's that the L&D had just purchased. It would become L&D 1501 and assumed the name CITY OF NEW IBERIA from the 1200 after that loco was sent to switch at the Sohio coke calcining plant in Lake Charles in February 1988. |

Whitcomb 12185 |
| Description: |
This little Whicomb model MO, serial No. 12185, was at the Levert-St. John Plantation sugar mill near St. Martinville, Louisiana. It was built as an outside-frame 3-foot gauge locomotive; and was converted to standard gauge by extending the axles outside of the frame, but only on one side! The locomotive was built in May1926, and was one of several dozen 3-foot gauge Whitcombs which were available for lease; usually to contractors for construction projects. After being leased out in 1926, 1928 and 1929, it returned to the Whitcomb factory at Rochelle, Illinois in January 1930 where it was rebuilt and its weight increased from 12 to 14 tons. It was leased out again in March 1930, and then went to Marquette Cement at LaSalle, Illinois in October 1936, presumably as a sale.No. 12185 moved to Louisiana in June 1940 when it was purchased by Alma Plantation at Lakeland for its 28-mile narrow gauge sugar cane railroad. Lakeland is in Pointe Coupee Parish, near the southern end of False River. Alma abandoned its railroad operation in 1949, and the locomotive migrated south to Levert-St. John Plantation near St. Martinville. Levert discontinued its 18-mile narrow gauge railroad in 1959, and the locomotive was converted to standard gauge to move cars for the two railroads which served the sugar mill. The mill was served by the Missouri Pacific branch from Port Barre to New Iberia and the Southern Pacific line from Breaux Bridge to St. Martinville; however, the MP line was abandoned in 1982 and the SP in 1985, leaving the little loco with nothing to do! |

L&D CF7's |
| Description: |
Louisiana & Delta CF7's 1504 and 1502 were parked at the railroad's shop area at St. Mary Street in New Iberia. The 1504 was originally Santa Fe F7A 206C, then ATSF CF7 2489 and then Cadillac & Lake City 48. The CLK was initially a Michigan railroad; but it used this locomotive on former Rock Island trackage in Colorado, which is why the paint scheme featured the Rocky Mountains! L&D got it in November 1989. The 1502 was was originally Santa Fe F7A 339L, the ATSF CF7 2470 and then Falls Creek 2470; and arrived on the L&D in August 1988. |

Relco Shop |
| Description: |
This was the Railway Equipment Leasing Co. (Relco) shop at St. Gabriel, Louisiana; located along the Illinois Central Gulf between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The two NW2's are former Frisco/BN units waiting to be repainted for the Acadiana Railway. The first unit is still in its Frisco paint scheme and displays its BN number -- 412 -- on its number boards; but it wears a Dixie River Railroad (DXZE) emblem on its cab and is crudely lettered AKDN 101. The other unit -- former BN 403 -- wears the DXZE blue-and-white paint scheme, and would become AKDN 102. The DXZE was incorporated to acquire the former UP/MP line between McGehee, Arkansas and Vidalia, Louisiana; but it was unable to obtain the necessary financing and the sale never took place. |

| Title: |
L&D 1501 |
| Description: |
Louisiana & Delta CF7 1501 -- the CITY OF NEW IBERIA -- rests amid the lush vegetation at Avery Island, on the end of the railroad's Salt Mine Branch. The train was the second of two excursions operated by the L&D to celebrate its fifth anniversary. Behind the 1501 were flat car GVSR 8422 with a portable generator, ex-NYC sleeper-lounge LAUREL STREAM, ex-NYC sleeper-lounge-observation BONNIE BROOK, and L&D CF7 1500 PATOUTVILLE. The 1501 was built in November 1946 as ATSF F3A 19L, rebuilt by the Santa Fe into CF7 2622 in May 1972, and purchased by the L&D in December 1987. It was the second L&D unit with this name; the first one was SW1200 number 1200. |
