IMX |
| Description: |
The Illinois Central Gulf's IMX (Intermodal Exchange) for New Orleans was located at one end of the railroad's Stuyvesant Docks Yard. For most of the twentieth century, the docks and yard were a major asset for the IC, providing the railroad with its own wharves along the Mississippi River and a convenient location to serve customers in this area. During its existence, the ice dock here prepared hundreds of thousands of reefers for their journey north with loads of bananas. When this photo was taken, most of the yard had been sold to the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, and the track had been removed. The CN sold the rest of its property to the Port in 2002 and moved its intermodal operations out tho Mays Yard in April 2003. An SW14 can bee seen with a train of covered hoppers just to the left of the water tower, while the yard office and unused engine serving area is to the right. The wide street crossing the end of the yard is Napoleon Avenue, and just beyond there is the New Orleans Public Belt's mostly-empty Cotton Warehouse Yard. |

Jefferson Avenue Interlocking |
| Description: |
For most of the twentieth century, the double track lines of the IC/ICG and the New Orleans Public Belt ran side-by-side along the Mississippi River from Lambert Junction in Jefferson Parish to Race Street Junction, a distance of 7.4 miles. For most of the way, the NOPB tracks were on the riverside of the IC/ICG; but between Jefferson Avenue Interlocking and Harmony Street Interlocking, two miles, the roads swapped positions. Here is ICG southbound piggyback train P-55 crossing over the NOPB at Jefferson Avenue, about a mile from its destination at the railroad's intermodal ramp at Stuyvesant Docks Yard. Today's train has an especially eclectic mixture of power: GP10 8249, GP11 8734 and SD20 2001. The freight cars on the left are in the NOPB's Cotton Warehouse Yard. |

ICG P-55 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central Gulf piggyback train P-55 was siting in the railroad's New Orleans piggyback ramp at Stuyvesnt Docks Yard, at the end of its 900-miles trip from Chicago. The locomotives were GP40's 3067, 3036 and 3069. The 3036 was a part of the IC's first order for 40 GP40's, built in 1966; but the other two were from an order of 10 units delivered in 1968. Unlike the first 60 units, which lacked many options, the 1968 units - along with five more delivered in 1969 - were fully loaded, with oscillating signal lights, L-shaped windshields, dynamic brakes, higher-speed gearing and big 3600-gallon fuel tanks. These last units also weighed nine tons more than the earlier ones. Even though the 3067's 18-year-old paint job was being protected by a generous layer of dirt, yellow primer was showing through on its nose and cab. It was rebuilt as the 3125 three years later. |

ICG Stuyvesant Docks Yard |
| Description: |
This shows the area around the ICG's intermodal ramp at Stuyvesant Docks Yard after most of the yard had been removed in 1984. The vacant area on the left once contained 17 tracks, which were removed after the land was sold to the Port of New Orleans in 1984. The 4-track yard on the right, with SW14 1460, was built at that time. In the center of the photo, intermodal train P-55 is pulling into the piggyback ramp with three GP40's - 3067, 3036 and 3069 - and 14 cars. |

Rather than waste money on ultrasonic rail testing, the ICG found this simple and economical method for locating defective rails. This loaded 100-ton covered hopper has positively identified a rail which will need to be replaced. Notice the clean break at the fish plate in the foreground. |

The locos were on their way from the ICG's shop in Paducah, Kentucky to the Liberian-American-Swedish Mining Co. in Liberia; and would be loaded on a ship here in New Orleans. The 315 was built as UP SD7 781, and was later UP 456. The 316 was originally UP 782 and then UP 457. The placards attached to the handrails provided the units' weight and shipping instructions. |

IC Warehouse No. 32 |
| Description: |
This building was originally IC Warehouse No. 32, but when this photo was taken it belonged to the ICG. It was located between Tchoupitoulas Street, shown here, and the railroad's Stuyvesant Docks Yard. The building extended from Louisiana Avenue to General Taylor Street, seven blocks or about 2,300 feet, and contained almost 293,00 square feet. Prior to the construction of the new yard office at Mays Yard in the 1960's, this building also housed the offices of the railroad's Louisiana Division. It was still standing in 2013, although it is now served by the New Orleans Public Belt. |
