UP Transfer Run |
| Description: |
A quartet of Union Pacific B-Boats - 178, 111, 239 and 117 - lead a westbound transfer run down the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE and into the railroad's AVONDALE YARD. All of these were former Missouri Pacific units, and no stranger to this location. |

UP B23-7 192 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific B37-7 192 was on a westbound local at Schriever, Louisiana, and the locomotive’s L-shaped engineer’s windshield identified this as a former Southern Pacific unit. All of the SP’s B-Boats were delivered with L-shaped windshields, but few of them received UP paint. This loco was built as SP 5108 in June 1980, renumbered UP 192 on 31 May 2001 and was rebuilt by Railpower into RP20BD genset UPY 2630 on 1 Mar 2007. |

MP 4641 |
| Description: |
A trio of MoPac GE's -- B23-7 4641, U23B 4534 and B23-7 4644 -- power a westbound transfer run over the New Orleans Public Belt at the Uptown Square Shopping Center. About eight cars back are the two cabooses of ICG intermodal train No. 53, near the end of its trip from Chicago. The paved over crossing in Leake Avenue is a reminder that the shopping center was built on land once occupied by an industry that was served by rail. For over 70 years the U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co. had a plant here which distilled molasses into alcohol. |

UP B23-7 4679 |
| Description: |
Almost all of the Missouri Pacific's 85 B23-7's received 100-series Union Pacific numbers when they were relettered for the UP, but this unit retained its MP number until it became UP 179 in April 1986. The locomotive was on a set of transfer power in the New Orleans Public Belt's East Bridge Yard. |

SP 5105 |
| Description: |
Westbound SP train AVLFM (Avondale-Lafayette) pauses at Schriever with 26 cars. The train's caboose is parked next to the depot, right on the other side of the antenna tower. The Espee only owned 15 B23-7's, so finding one was always nice; and finding one of the front of a train on a sunny day was really special! |
