Bridge Meet
Title:  Bridge Meet
Description:  For many years, both the MP and the SP weren't particular about the power they used for transfer runs across the Huey P. Long Bridge... almost any old units would do. But in 1975, both railroads assigned brand new EMD switchers to yard and transfer service around New Orleans. Here, 2-month old SP MP15AC's 2705 and 2706 on an eastbound transfer run meet 8-month old MP MP15DC 1549 -- along with GP18 1963, MP15DC 1551 and GP38-2's 2060 and 2075 -- on a westbound grain train.
