Southern Extra 6141 North |
| Description: |
At 9:00 Southern Railway FP7's 6141 and 6133 were pulling out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal with a 10-car students' excursion. The railroad ran these trips to introduce students - and frequently their parents and teachers - to train travel and railroading. These were short one-way trips, with passengers getting on and off all along the way, and the riders returning to their point of origin on buses. The first two cars were former Central of Georgia 664 FORT OGLETHORPE and 663 FORT McPHERSON. |

Southern FP7 6140 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway FP7’s 6140 and 6144 were arriving in New Orleans on an 8-car special for the SUGAR BOWL game, which would be played in Tulane Stadium the next day. The 6140 was flying green flags, as the special was running as the first section of a scheduled freight train. The train was on the wye at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, just before it backed into the station. All but one of the cars were owned by Nashville scrap dealer David Witherspoon, and the passengers came to watch Tennessee beat Air Force 34-13. |

SOU FP7A 6141 |
| Description: |
Southern FP7A's 6141 and 6133 were at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal for school excursions. The Southern operated these to intruduce children to railroads; and for most of these kids, this would be their first train ride. Today's railroads find such activities unnecessary. |

Southern Railway Train No. 47 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway train No. 47 – the southbound SOUTHERNER– had just backed into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal behind FP7 6147 and an unidentified E8A. (Its scheduled arrival time was 7:10 PM.) Here, a carman had uncoupled the locomotives and was signaling the engineer with his lantern that he could pull ahead. The engine crew would then bring the power out to the engine terminal, where they would go off duty. When this photo was taken, the SOUTHERNER was frequently powered by an FP7 and an E8; but for most of its 29-year existence, the train ran with one or two E-units. (approximate date of photo) |

Birmingham Special |
| Description: |
Southern Railway’s BIRMINGHAM SPECIAL (Nos. 17/18) was down to three cars when it was photographed at the remains of Birmingham’s TERMINAL STATION in July 1970, across the platform from the SOUTHERN CRESCENT. This train consisted of FP7 6147, E8A 2926, two Norfolk & Western lightweight coaches and a Southern heavyweight baggage car. On its way out of town it would stop at Norris Yard to pick up some intermodal cars before heading north to Washington, D.C. On 11 August - shortly after this photo was taken - the train was discontinued in the State of Tennessee, and two weeks later is was abolished in Alabama as well. (approximate date) |
