ICG Mays Yard |
| Description: |
A small group of people had gathered outside the Illinois Central Gulf's LOUISIANA DIVISION HEADQUARTERS OFFICE at Mays Yard to watch the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN pass on its way into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. It was probably the first time a 4-8-4 had even run over these tracks. IC SW9 460 was off to the left. |

The locomotiIe was built in June 1951 as IC 9446, was renumbered 446 so that the 9400-series could be used for GP18's, and then renumbered 1244 when it was equipped for multiple-unit operation. It was rebuilt as ICG SW14 1449 the year after this photo was taken. |

| Description: |
Multiple-unit equipped Illinois Central SW9 9333 was photographed at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal while construction was still going on. On the other side of the locomotive is the NOUPT Railway Express Agency building, which was completed in 1950.

The 9333 was renumbered 1233 in September 1957 and rebuilt into SW14 1437 in September 1980. |
