ICG SD40 6054 |
| Description: |
A trio of ICG units and their train were parked on the Baton Rouge District main line, between North Baton Rouge Yard and the former Y&MV passenger depot. The Mississippi River is right on the other side of the tracks, and the locomotives have been uncoupled from their train to provide access to the river. The engines were SD40 6054, GP8 7727 and GP38 9516. |

ICG Grain Train (1) |
| Description: |
Illnois Cenral Gulf GP10 8216, SD40 6056 and U33C 5058 were on a southbound grain train crossing the bridge across Pass Manchac, Louisiana. The new concrete structure was completed in 1972 and replaced the wooden trestle next to it. The train will have to reverse direction in Kenner, just west of MAYS YARD, to get to one of the grain elevators along the Mississippi River, so it has a caboose on each end. The 199510 is behind the engines and the 199596 is on the rear. |

| Title: |
Grain Train |
| Description: |
An interesting assortment of locomotives lead a southbound grain train across Pass Manchac, about 40 miles north of New Orleans. When this photo was taken, grain trains usually ran with a caboose on each end, as the power had to run around the train in Kenner before heading up the former Y&MV line to the elevators along the Mississippi River. |
