L&D |
| Description: |
Just two months after the Louisiana & Delta purchased a group of branch lines from the Southern Pacific, one of the two GP9R's (L&D 1751, ex-SP 3434) based at Baldwin was already painted in the L&D's colors. The other geep was ex-SP 3790. The L&D also acquired the Baldwin depot -- visible in the center of the photo -- as a crew base for the Cypremort and Bayou Sale jobs that worked out of here. The beginning of the Cypremort Branch can be seen curving off to the south just west of the depot, while the Bayou Sale Branch begins 10 miles east of here. |

SP Transfer Run |
| Description: |
This eastbound Southern Pacific transfer run was stopped at the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge, waiting for a clear route through East Bridge Junction to one of the railroad's eastern connections. The train was powered by an "Alco sandwich" with RSD12 2963 and C630 3140 tucked in between GP9R 3319 and low-nose GP9 3727. |

SP Extra 3735 West |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific EXTRA 3735 WEST was heading west out of AVONDALE YARD at the George Street grade crossing. The motive power was SP GP9R 3735, Cotton Belt GP20R 4145, SP GP9R 3802 and SD45 9143. The 3735 began life as Texas & New Orleans 439, which explained the lack of an oscillating light fixture. |
