KCS GP10B 907 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern GP10B 907 was parked on the MERIDIAN SPEEDWAY at Monroe, Louisiana. This thing had been built in April 1954 as Illinois Central GP9 9003 and was rebuilt into GP10 8003 in May 1970. It was sold to MidSouth Rail in March 1986 and was eventually renumbered MSRC 1022, then it became KCS 1907 before being remodeled into remote-control maintenance-of-way power unit 907 by 2008. |

MidSouth Rail Geeps |
| Description: |
In this view from Mississippi Highway 3, MidSouth Rail GP10's 1014 and 1022 were switching Ballground Yard, just north of the big International Paper Co. mill near Redwood, Mississippi. This track was once a part of the Illinois Central's 29-mile REDWOOD DISTRICT, completed between Redwood Junction and Valley in 1967 and one of the last new lines built by the IC. Because of unstable roadbed conditions in areas adjacent to the Yazoo River, the northern 20 miles of the line - between Ballground Yard and Valley - were abandoned in 1975 after less than 10 years in operation. This track is currently owned by the Kansas City Southern and operated by Watco's Vicksburg Southern. |

ADM GP10 7596 |
| Description: |
Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. GP10 7596 was at their grain elevator at Reserve, Louisiana. This is along the Mississippi River and the Canadian National between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The locomotive had been built as Pennsylvania 7261 in November 1959 under EMD serial no. 24313. It was subsequently Penn Central 7261 and then Conrail 7261, and was remanufactured by the Illinois Central Gulf’s PADUCAH SHOPS into Conrail GP10 7596 in 1978. Conrail retired it on 30 October 1995 and it eventually went to ADM, and was subsequently sold to Railserve (RSSX) in 2016. Notice that there were no steps at the other end of the locomotive! |

GMSR Geeps |
| Description: |
Shortly after the Gulf & Mississippi Railroad began operating on 10 July 1985, two of the five geeps which wore this sharp GM&O-like paint scheme were captured on film at Artesia, Mississippi. The GMSR only lasted until 14 April 1988, when it was acquired by MidSouth Rail and renamed SouthRail. These two units subsequently received a less striking paint scheme as MSRC 1058 and 1052. (approximate date) |

IC GP10 8033 leads the twice-weekly Shore Line District local along West 27th Street in Covington, near the end of its 65-mile trip from Bogalusa. It was also near the end of the line for this branch. The track was abandoned in 1991 and this area doesn't look anything like this anymore! Today's train had six cars: bulkhead flats TOE 4085 and 4037 with building material for Poole Lumber Co., insulated box car (RBL) MRS 2091 with beer for Champagne Beverage Co., and empty pulpwood cars IC 1472, GM&O 4028 and GM&O 3615. The caboose was ICG 199320, the regular car on this run, built in January 1976. |

Illinois Central GP10 8146 and two empty Southern Railway insulated box cars from a local beer distributor were tied up just north of the former Gulf Mobile & Ohio depot in Covington, Louisiana. The train was all made up, and the next morning a station wagon would bring a crew down from Bogalusa to take the train back there. |

ICG Wreck 4 |
| Description: |
On 1 April 1975 the Illinois Central Gulf local heading south on the former Gulf Mobile & Ohio main line between Bogalusa and Slidell, Louisiana was diverted into the spur at Florenville and collided with some stored cars. Lead unit 8158 had been rebuilt from GP9 9158 in May 1968. After the wreck it returned to the railroad's shop at Paducah, Kentucky for some major work and re-entered service in April 1977 as ICG 8126. As bad as the damage was, there were no fatalities. Engineer Luther Walley survived on the walkway behind the cab, while another trainman was in the trailing unit. |

ICG Local |
| Description: |
Illinois Central GP10 8167 was on an outbound train on the ICG’s SHORE LINE DISTRICT in Mandeville, Louisiana as it made its way from Covington, to Bogalusa. The loaded pulpwood cars on the front of the train had been picked up at a woodyard about half way between Covington and Abita Springs, and were on their way to the Crown Zellerbach paper mill in Bogalusa. Pulpwood was also loaded at Lacombe, and this would be picked up further along the line. This was a former Gulf Mobile & Ohio branch. (approximate date of photo) |

Two Trains |
| Description: |
About a mile west of Abita Springs, at Schoen Road, the ICG Shore Line District served two customers. USS Agri-Chem, on the right, received limestone and agricultural chemicals in box cars and covered hoppers, and was served by northward trains. Triangle Timber, behind me and on the opposite side of the main line, shipped pulpwood and was worked in the other direction.Finding more than one train on the branch was really unusual, and was usually the result of a work train on the line. This view facing east from Schoen Road was taken on a Thursday afternoon, a normal day for the northward local, whose locomotive is in the siding. The 8308, along with GP30 2269, had arrived here the previous afternoon with 23 empty hopper cars and caboose 199318. The train had been dumping ballast along the line and the crew parked their train here, where they were picked up by a company car and returned home to Bogalusa.Earlier this afternoon the regular northward local -- with GP10 8183 -- pulled up behind the ballast train and coupled to its caboose. The company station wagon, which had come down from Bogalusa to bring the crew back home, brought the crew here to get on the 8308. They pulled the combined train forward, set out the local's engine on the siding, then shoved the combined train back on the main line until everything looked like this. The crew finished whatever they were doing when they returned from Bogalusa on Friday morning to complete their northward trip and then take the train back home. Eleven years later, the branch was abandoned. |

ICG GP10 8202 |
| Description: |
CG GP10 8202 was about to cross Hoffman Road -- between Mandeville and Abita Springs, Louisiana -- on the now-abandoned ex-GM&O Shore Line Branch. The train was the twice-wjekly local from Bogalusa to Covington. In the background was former Illinois Central 1-compartment/1-drawing-room / 3-double-bedroom / tavern / lounge car GENERAL JACKSON, built by Pullman-Standard in Apvil 1942 for the PANAMA LIMITED. It and baggage car 755 were someone's vacation home. The former railroad right-of-way is now the Tammany Trace trail, while the cars were eventually purchased by Iowa Pacific Holdings and moved to Colorado. |

ICG 8202 |
| Description: |
The ICG's northward Shore Line Branch local passes though Abita Springs, Louisiana -- milepost 62.7. There was once a depot here; but by this time, Abita was just the location of a 4-car siding. This train has 15 cars: four plug door box cars, one covered hopper for USS Agri-Chem, five empty pulpwood cars for Triangle Timber, and five empty gondolas for the P&W scrap yard, plus caboose 199034. It picked up one MKT 50-foot box car here in Abita Springs, and then set out the covered hopper about a mile down the track. |
