Meet at Alex Jct. |
| Description: |
Espee GP20E 4105 waits on the Alexandria Branch at Alex Jct. (milepost 145.3) with the Opelousas Turn, while rebuilt SW7 2294 passes on the main line with the BR... the local which served the remnant of the branch which once went all the way to Baton Rouge. The 2294 had just gotten on the SUNSET ROUTE right around the curve at BR Jct. (M.P. 145.1). The 4105's train consists of tank cars from the LouAna vegetable oil refinery in Opelousas and a dump car; while the 2294's train has cars of salt and natural gas from Breaux Bridge. Both trains are headed for the Lafayette Yard, about one mile away. |

SP Transfer Run |
| Description: |
A westbound Southern Pacific transfer run was passing the LSU Dental School on the Southern Railway’s New Orleans Terminal Co. subsidiary, en route from the Louisville & Nashville’s GENTILLY YARD to the Espee’s AVONDALE YARD. The transfer run was powered by seven locomotives, which had gone to the L&N on two separate trains. Combining power on transfer runs from the L&N to the SP was not unusual because there was typically an imbalance of traffic, with more eastbound trains. The locomotives were SSW GP20R 4137, SP GP20’s 4085 and 4079, SSW GP20R’s 4143 and 4148, SP GP35 6664 and SSW GP35 6502. |
