L&N 4-6-2 152 |
| Description: |
On New Years Day 1952 Louisville & Nashville K-2A Pacific 152 was parked on the median of Elysian Fields Avenue, next to the French Quarter, where it was providing steam for occupied Pullman cars. Back in the days before New Orleans had an abundance of hotel rooms, sleeping cars were regularly used to accommodate visitors who were here for major events such as the Sugar Bowl and Mardi Gras.By this time in its career, the 152 was usually assigned to the Pensacola Division, and it had been towed in from Mobile because it did not have Automatic Train Stop equipment for use on the line into New Orleans. The locomotive was built by Rogers in 1905 and was the L&N's third Pacific. It was donated to the Kentucky Railway Museum in 1957 and is the only preserved L&N Pacific. |

L&N Train No. 7 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville local Number 7 has just passed through Gentilly Yard (milepost 800.4) and crossed the Industrial Canal drawbridge (milepost 801.4). The train was scheduled into New Orleans at 3:45 P.M., after a 12-hour trip from Montgomery, Alabama. It was established in 1946 and discontinued in September 1953. The switch in the foreground was the connection with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio, at the north end of the GM&O's Canal Yard.The train was powered by K-5 class 4-6-2 245. This was one of six light Pacifics (240-245) assigned to the L&N by the United States Railroad Administration during the First World War. These were built by Alco-Richmond in 1919, after the end of the War. After the USRA was abolished, the railroad got 20 more K-5's: Baldwin built eight (264-271) in 1923 and Alco-Brooks constructed 12 (272-283) in 1924. The 245 was retired on 22 June 1954.

L&N Train No. 34 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville 4-6-2 280 was awaiting the departure of train No. 34 – the combined Piedmont Limited-Gulf Wind – from Canal Street Station in New Orleans at 5:00 PM.

L&N Train No. 7 |
| Description: |
In 1951-52 the Louisville & Nashville constructed a shoo-fly at Franklin Avenue in New Orleans, about midway between NO&NE Tower (milepost 802.7) and N.O.T. Tower (milepost 803.7), so that an underpass could be built there. Southbound local No. 7 had just crossed the main line of the Southern Railway at NO&NE Tower, which can be seen in the left background, and was at the north end of the temporary trackage, passing a temporary approach signal for the New Orleans Terminal Co. crossing at N.O.T. Tower. This train was powered by K-5 class Pacific 280, built by Alco’s Brooks Works in 1924; and included a sleeping car on the rear, an unusual occurrence. New FP7 diesels officially replaced steam power on No. 7, as well as 9, 10 and 12, on 27 July 1951, the underpass was dedicated on 16 April 1952, No. 7 was discontinued in 1953 and the 280 was retired on 23 April 1954.
