Southern Train No. 193
Title:  Southern Train No. 193
Description:  Even though Norfolk Southern Corp. had been in existence for over three years, this still looks like a Southern Railway train! Birmingham-Houston run-through train 193 pauses on the New Orleans Public Belt at the east end of the Huey Long Bridge, where the NS delivered it to the Espee. Behind GP35 2684 are GP38-2 5183, U23B 3931 and GP38-2 5159, 86 cars, and Espee caboose 4611. Earlier in the day, a ceremony was held on the bridge to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of its opening in 1935.
