KCS F9Am 91 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern F-unit 91 was receiving some attention in the engine house at West Yard, just outside of New Orleans. The locomotive was built as L&A F7A 74D in February 1951; but after being wrecked at Sulphur Springs, Texas on 12 October 1955, EMD rebuilt it into an F9Am in March 1956. It was assigned unit number 91 in January 1957 (while retaining engine number 74D), renumbered 4061 in April 1978, sold to Mountain Diesel Transportation in 1988, and -- after changing ownership several times -- is still in existence in 2010. |

KCS Train No. 53 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern train 53 - running as Extra 657 South - was crossing the entrance to the Airline Drive-In Theater about a mile from its destination at New Orleans' WEST YARD. The second unit was F9Am 4053, and when this photo was taken, F-units and older geeps had recently began running with SD's on the line into New Orleans. I was told this was a fuel conservation measure, but it also released SD's for use elsewhere on the railroad. Before long, the usual power became a trio of newer geeps or a GP-slug-GP set. |

KCS F9Am 4053 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern F9Am 4053 was outside the diesel shop at West Yard, just west of New Orleans. The unit had been built as F7A 58D and was rebuilt by EMD in March 1956 after a head-on collision at Sulphur Springs, Texas. This rebuild explained the F9 louver arrangement and contributed to its longevity. It was scrapped in March 1986. |
