L&N Geeps |
| Description: |
On Sunday afternoon 9 May 1976 Louisville & Nashville GP38-2 units 4114 and 4052 were arriving in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and that night they would depart for Mobile with the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN. The AFT had come in to New Orleans a week earlier over the Illinois Central Gulf behind former Southern Pacific 4-8-4 4449; but the L&N would not let the big engine operate over its line along the Gulf Coast, so the train departed behind these geeps while the 4449 headed back north over the ICG, with just its tool car. |
