On Sunday 10 May 1970 Illinois Central’s CITY OF NEW ORLEANS was preparing to leave New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on its 16-hour-50-minute journey to Chicago. The train consisted of E6A 4001, E9B 2100, E9A 4042, a baggage car, a coach and a former Missouri Pacific dome car; but more cars would be picked up in Jackson, Mississippi. The SOUTHERN CRESCENT was parked two tracks over for its departure one hours after the CITY. |

TWO GM CLASSICS |
| Description: |
The picture quality isn't very good, but the subjects are superb! One fine day in 1968, a 1956 Chevy Corvette and a 1941 Electro-Motive Division E6A posed side-by-side at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The two E-units are on a ready track, and departed later that afternoon on the northbound PANAMA LIMITED. The 4003 has been recently repainted. It wears the large lettering and numbers introduced in 1967; but still has the old nose treatment, where the orange extends up over the top headlight. It should have a split-rail nose emblem, but one hasn't been applied yet! (month approximate) |

NOUPT |
| Description: |
The water pouring out of the nose of Louisville & Nashville E7A 791 showed that the boiler water tanks were full as the unit was being serviced from the opposite side at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine facility. L&N E6 and E7 units which had been modified with enlarged boiler water capacity – 2,050 gallons instead on 1,050 – had nose-mounted water filler openings such as this. On the next track, NOUPT SW8 number 1 was moving a set of Illinois Central power which included E6A 4003. (approximate date of photo) |
