Cities of New Iberia |
| Description: |
The Louisiana & Delta had only been in business for nine months when this photo was taken. SW1200 -- the CITY OF NEW IBERIA -- and CF7 2622 rest at the railroad's original engine "terminal" in New Iberia. The railroad's headquarters, located in the former Espee depot, is in the left background. The 1200 was one of six locomotives acquired from the Espee when the L&D began operations on 16 March 1987. It was built in January 1964 as Cotton Belt 1062 and was renumbered 2250 the next year. Ex-Santa Fe 2622 was one of two CF7's that the L&D had just purchased. It would become L&D 1501 and assumed the name CITY OF NEW IBERIA from the 1200 after that loco was sent to switch at the Sohio coke calcining plant in Lake Charles in February 1988. |

Saturday |
| Description: |
It's noon on a Saturday at New Iberia, and things are pretty quiet on the SP. In the foreground are fuel car 62295 and caboose 444. On the other side of the caboose -- on the engine tie-up track -- are SW1200R's 2309, 2313 and 2307. One of these units would have been the New Iberia Switcher, one would have been for train 519/520 -- the run to the salt mine at Avery Island -- and the third was probably a extra engine that was being swapped out for maintenance. Visible between the tank car and the 2309 are the scale house and the east end of the freight house, while the depot is in the left background. |

SP Depot |
| Description: |
Passenger service ended at Baldwin in 1963, when the last remnant of the ARGONAUT was discontinued; but the depot remained in use as a train order office until the introduction of Direct Traffic Control in 1985. It was also the base for local crews working the Cypremort and Bayou Sale branches, and the branch line locals tied up here. When this photo was taken, the branches were usually worked by upgraded 1200-horsepower EMD switchers, such as SW1200E 2315 seen here. Unfortunately, the area where the locomotives were parked and serviced now looked looked like a toxic waste dump; so around 1980 the tracks behind the depot were removed and the ground cleaned up. After that, the railroad began using geeps on the branches; and parking them on a track across from the depot. The Louisiana & Delta bought the branches and the depot on 16 March 1987. |
