Seaboard System Meet |
| Description: |
Eastbound (on the left) and westbound run-through trains were having a meet on the Seaboard System just west of the railroad’s Gentilly Yard in New Orleans. On the left was a trio of freshly-painted SBD U-Boats - U33B 5624 with U36B's 5773 and 5752 - on a United States Lines stack train en route from the Missouri Pacific in Houston to Savannah, Georgia. The other train – with Cotton Belt B30-7 7796, SP SD45 9107 and SD40T-2 8232 – was on its way from Gentilly to the Espee’s Avondale Yard, on the other side of the Mississippi River. |

SP B30-7 7805 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific SD40T-2 8362 and B30-7 7805 were pulling a Louisville & Nashville train towards the railroad's GENTILLY YARD at Read Boulevard. The cars had been a southbound run-through train which was parked out on the MICHOUD SIDING because the SP wasn't ready to accept it, and now these two units had been sent out from the L&N yard to pick it up. |
