KCS and L&NW |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern GP40-2LW units 4700, 4712 and 4717 were on the interchange track connecting the railroad’s MERIDIAN SPEEDWAY – just behind the photographer – and the branch line to Hodge, Louisiana. This branch had been the North Louisiana & Gulf and then the Central Louisiana & Gulf, and it would be leased by Watco as the Louisiana Southern three months after this photo. On the left was Louisiana & North West GP11 55, while GP40 57 and GP35 54 were in the L&NW diesel shop; and the building on the right was the former NL&G freight house. |

KCS GP40-2 LW 4710 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern GP40-2LW 4710 was photographed at WEST YARD, just outside of New Orleans. The locomotive had been built in September 1974 as Canadian National 9491, and it was later renumbered KCS 2908. It was one of 23 wide-nose CN units purchased by the KCS in 1996 and all of them had dynamic brakes added by the Livingston Rebuilt Center. |
