Title:
Southern NW2 2100
Description:
Southern Railway 2100 - its only NW5 and one of only 13 built - was tied up at
SLIP JUNCTION
, next to the small yard at Chalmette, Louisiana. The locomotive spent most of its life in the New Orleans area, and it was last used in regular passenger service in 1954, on a remnant of Nos. 43 and 44 between New Orleans and Pearl River, Louisiana. Its steam generator was finally removed in 1967 and the louvers under its rear light were removed about five years later, enabling the placement of a large number here. It left New Orleans in 1977 and was retired in 1979.

Title:
SOU 2100
Description:
The 2100 was the only NW5 on the Southern, and one of only 13 locomotives of this model. It was built in January 1947, and spent most of its life in and around New Orleans. It finally left after the arrival of some new MP15DC's in August 1977, and was retired two years later. The passenger car is ex-New York Central 4-4-2 IMPERIAL EMBLEM, which was owned by the New Orleans Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.
