Southern No. 194 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway No. 194, the run-through train from the Southern Pacific at Houston to Birmingham, was raising quite a racket as it rolled across the Seabrook drawbridge on its way out of New Orleans. The bridge spans the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, which connects the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain, just off to the right. The sign next to the first car showed that the speed limit on the bridge was 45. |

Meet |
| Description: |
It 5:30 on the Fourth of July, and we're on the Southern Railway at the north end of Pearl River siding witnessing a ritual that was repeated thousands of times each day. A trainman off of northbound No. 114 -- the run-through train from the MP running as 222 -- has performed a roll-by inspection of southbound piggyback train 219 and is letting his counterpart know that everything looks OK. No. 219 had GP38 2778 with 23 cars and caboose X411. No. 114 has SD35 3042, SD40 3174 and SD35 3019 with 98 cars and MP caboose 13430. It has been here for 30 minutes, and this is the second train it has met; but the 3042's headlight in back on and 114 is about to resume its journey north. Amtrak's southbound CRESCENT is running three hours late, so 114 won't have any more meets for a while! |

Meet |
| Description: |
On a dreary winter's afternoon, eastbound Espee train 242 -- with SD40 8440 and Southern Railway SD35's 3098 and 3051 -- was waiting in the siding at Cade, 131 miles west of Algiers, Louisiana; as the westbound SUNSET sped by with SDP40F's 572 and 527 and ten cars. The SUNSET's next stop would be Lafayette, 12 miles ahead. |
