SOU 2761 |
| Description: |
While assigned to yard and transfer service at New Orleans, Southern GP38 2761 was "customized" with green paint insde the "O" in its road name. While this was a standard feature on the railroad's freight cars -- a part of its "Southern Gives a Green Night to Innovation" marketing campaign -- it was wasn't suppose to show up on locomotives! The 2761 was built with a small 1700-gallon fuel tank, but here it has a 3,000-gallon tank from a revired SD35. The building on the right is the tower at Oliver Yard. (month approximate) |

Southern No. 58 |
| Description: |
A late-running Southern Railway No. 58, the New Orleans-Meridian local, was entering the siding at Slidell during a very unusual south Louisiana snowfall. The train was running with GP38 2796 and GP30 2528, and was here to meet piggyback train No. 219. The track on the other side of the 2796 was the south leg of the Slidell wye. The wye's tail track served the American Creosote Works plant, which later became an EPA Superfund site. The wye was subsequently removed. |
