Frisco FSE |
| Description: |
After a quick crew change, Frisco train FSE roars out of the Amory yard on its way to Birmingham. This sharp-looking set of GE's was U30B 857, B30-7 866, and U25B's 809 and 831. Almost all of the train was on its way from the UP at Kansas City to the SCL at Birmingham. On 21 November, less than seven weeks away, the Frisco would be merged into the Burlington Northern. |

L&N No. 9 |
| Description: |
On the last day of 1970 the Louisville & Nashville’s southbound PAN-AMERICAN arrived in New Orleans behind U28B 2500 and E8A 796. The 5-car train consisted of baggage car 1473, coaches 3244 and 3250, counter-lounge car 2800 and 10-roomette/6-double-bedroom sleeper 3411 KENTUCKY RIVER. We don’t know where the GE was added to the train, but it was already on when the train arrived in Mobile. Here was the train backing in past the diesel shop at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. |

L&N GE Quartet |
| Description: |
Four-axle U-boats became a common sight on the south end of the Louisville & Nashville as soon as its first U25B's arrived in 1963, but a quartet of them was rather unusual. Here U28B 2504 (one of only five on the railroad), U30B 2508 (one of only five on the railroad), a U25B and and an unidentified unit (but either another U28B or U30B) wait at the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge with an eastbound run-through train from the Southern Pacific. The open hood doors on the first two units were a common sight on early U-boats, as their door latches didn't work very well after a while. Notice that the 2504 still has an emblem on its cab side, while the 2508 has it this replaced with its road number. (approximate month and day) |

L&N 2509 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville U30B 2509 rests in the Missouri Pacific's Race Street Yard. It was on a set of transfer power with four assorted MP geeps. MoPac MP15DC 1547 was on another set of transfer power, with siblings 1554 and 1546. The switchers were only eight months old, and had come to New Orleans straight from the factory. The Greater New Orleans Mississippi River Bridge fills the background. |
