Seaboard System Meet
Title:  Seaboard System Meet
Description:  Eastbound (on the left) and westbound run-through trains were having a meet on the Seaboard System just west of the railroad’s Gentilly Yard in New Orleans. On the left was a trio of freshly-painted SBD U-Boats - U33B 5624 with U36B's 5773 and 5752 - on a United States Lines stack train en route from the Missouri Pacific in Houston to Savannah, Georgia. The other train – with Cotton Belt B30-7 7796, SP SD45 9107 and SD40T-2 8232 – was on its way from Gentilly to the Espee’s Avondale Yard, on the other side of the Mississippi River.
