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. |

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. |

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. |
