Relco S2 1048 |
| Description: |
Relco (Railway Equipment Leasing Co.) Alco S2 1048 was parked outside the company's shop along the Illinois Central Gulf on Short Street in Kenner, Louisiana. The track on the right was the original Yazoo & Mississippi Valley main line between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, but it had been replaced by a revised connection between the Illinois Central's BATON ROUGE and McCOMB DISTRICTS at Orleans Junction. This shop served Relco's customers along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and they subsequently relocated to a larger facility along the Baton Rouge District at St. Gabriel, Louisiana. |

RE S2 1049 |
| Description: |
Railway Equipment Leasing Co. S2 1049 was parked on a siding along the Illinois Central Gulf in the Baton Rouge area, without a front coupler or some steps. Relco units were very common along the ICG between here and New Orleans because of the many industries along the Mississippi. The locomotive was built in June 1948 as Seaboard Air Line 1432 before becoming Seaboard Coast Line 48, and it had been retired in August 1976. |
