NOPB SW1000 103 |
| Description: |
On a beautiful January morning New Orleans Public Belt SW1000 103 was parked dead along the Mississippi River at South Carrollton Avenue with no one around. This was the job that went out most afternoons to switch industries around the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge, and something must have happened before they got back to Cotton Warehouse Yard which was about two miles away. |

NOPB SW1000 104 |
| Description: |
Recently-delivered New Orleans Public Belt SW1000 number 104 was pulling a train south along the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC). The photo was taken from the St. Claude Avenue bridge, and the lift span in the background is the Judge Seeber Bridge on North Claiborne Avenue. The IHNC connects Lake Pontchartrain with the Mississippi River, and the structure on the right - with the red roof - is the control house for the canal's lock. The canal opened in 1921.

Cotton Warehouse Yard |
| Description: |
Back when railroads paid per diem for car usage on a daily - as opposed to an hourly - basis; the ICG, SP and KCS would all interchange cars with the New Orleans Public Belt at the latter railroad's Cotton Warehouse Yard around 6 P.M. It's 6:15 and ICG SW14 1470 is delivering a cut of cars from that railroad's nearby Stuyvesant Docks Yard, SP MP15AC's 2705 and 2710 have brought 19 cars over from their Avondale Yard and are preparing to return home, while NOPB SW1000 104 is waiting to return to work. KCS SW1500 4347 is out-of-sight at the other end of the yard, having just delivered 18 cars. |

NOPB 151 and 105 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Belt’s AVONDALE JOB was dropping down the west side of the Huey P. Long Bridge towards the Union Pacific’s AVONDALE YARD behind SW1500 151 and SW1000 105, both of which were named CREOLE BELLE. The locomotives were accidentally given the same name when the railroad named these unit in 1999 and 2000. The locos had been built in 1971, were renumbered 1501 and 1001 in 2008, and were retired in 2020. The 1501 went to S&S Sales & Leasing as SSRX 1501, while the 1001 went to the Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad as PLLX 105. PLLX operates the Hobo Railroad and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads in New Hampshire. |

MSE SW900 4301 |
| Description: |
Mississippi Export SW900 4301 was parked next to the railroad’s shop building at Moss Point, Mississippi. The locomotive had been built in September 1960 as Corinth & Counce (CCR) 901, became TennRail (TNR) 901, and then went to the Kansas City Southern when that railroad acquired MidSouth Rail and its subsidiaries. It was eventually renumbered KCS 4301 and went to the Mississippi Export in February 2009, where it is available for lease to industries needing a switch engine. This was actually the second KCS loco to be numbered 4301; the first was an SW7 which had been built in October 1950 as the 1301, then renumbered 4301 in 1973 and sold for scrap in 1986. |
