L&N FP7 652
Title:  L&N FP7 652
Description:  A bow-wave of road grime had already dirtied the side of recently repainted Louisville & Nashville FP7 652 at GENTILLY YARD, New Orleans; but its nose was still clean! This locomotive had been built in June 1951 as the 624 and was renumbered 652 six months later. Units 650-662 were equipped with Automatic Train Stop and were used extensively between Mobile and New Orleans until the ATS was removed in 1965. The 652 was renumbered 694 in December 1966 and retired in January 1969.

L&N CNX
Title:  L&N CNX
Description:  On the Sunday before Christmas 1964 Louisville & Nashville EXTRA 661 SOUTH was entering the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal EASTERN CONNECTION at East City Junction. For many years the L&N operated southbound CNX - and northbound NCX - mail and express extras between Cincinnati and New Orleans during the Christmas Season. These trains were typically 15-20 cars long and ran with a caboose. The tracks on the left belonged to the Southern Railway's New Orleans Terminal Co., and that was East City Tower on the extreme left. The train was four miles from its destination at NOUPT, and the photo was taken with a plastic Kodak STARMETER camera.

L&N FP7 666
Title:  L&N FP7 666
Description:  Louisville & Nasville locomotives stopped visiting the diesel shop at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on a regular basis with the advent of Amtrak on 1 May 1971; but the railroad continued to send power to NOUPT every now and then. These units usually needed traction motor replacements, something which could not be done at the railroad's Gentilly Yard. Here we see FP7 666 sticking out of the NOUPT shop, one year after the beginning of Amtrak. The unit was retired about a year and a half later, in November 1973. (approximate month and day)
