C&NW |
| Description: |
On a Sunday in September 1975 the C&NW engine terminal at Chadron, Nebraska was full of power. Most of the power was GP35's and B-unit slugs; but there were some older geeps, such as the 712 and 4309. |

MidLouisiana Rail |
| Description: |
Even though the reporting mark for the MidLouisiana Rail Corp. was MDS, MP15DC 45 is lettered MLRC; but the other three locos are still lettered for the North Louisiana & Gulf. The NL&G was renamed MDS when it was purchased by MidSouth Rail in July 1987. Scenes like this were only possible for two more years, since slug 50 (originally Rock Island SW1 531, then slug 998, then NL&G 50 in 1981) was sold to the Steelton & Highspire in 1989. The four NL&G/MDS MP15DC's were returned to their owner, Connell Leasing, in 1991. The Louisiana & North West diesel shop is behind the MDS/NL&G units. L&NW caboose 216 is coupled to F7A 45 and -- out of sight -- GP7 52. |

KCS Train No. 54 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern train No. 54 was leaving New Orleans behind GP40-2 799, F7A slug 4060, and GP40-2 797. The 799 was built in August 1979 along with the 798, while the 797 came in February 1981 along with the 796. Between April and September 1981 the railroad ran slugs 4050 and 4060 into New Orleans between pairs of GP40-2’s, as shown here. While all four of the GP40-2’s were set up to power slugs, the slugs could only draw power from one end, so the second geep didn’t contribute any horsepower to the slug. The use of road slugs into New Orleans resumed in August 1982, between a GP40-2 and another geep. This continued through the end of 1990 when the arrival of SD60’s and used geeps enabled the railroad to retire its road slugs. |

It was assigned engine number 90 in 1957, renumbered 4060 in 1978 and then rebuilt into a road slug in 1979. It was retired in 1990 and sold to Lloyd Peterson in 1991 who had it cosmetically restored as KCS 73D and placed it on display next to the KCS depot in Decatur, Arkansas in 1993. |
