Yards |
| Description: |
In this northwestward view of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific yards at Avondale, Louisiana the SP's turntable and little roundhouse were in the foreground, with two sets of road power on the right and a quartet of transfer geeps on the left. The MoP's diesel shop was in the upper left, and the Mississippi River flowed from left to right across the top of the image on its way to the Gulf. The roundhouse and diesel shop are long gone, as are the SP and the MoP! |

SP SD40R 7357 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific SD40R 7357 and two other SP units were heading into the low afternoon sun as they approached the east end of the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. The locos were on a cut of stack cars which had come in from Atlanta as a part of a Norfolk Southern intermodal train, and the SP power had been added at the NS OLIVER YARD to bring the train to the SP AVONDALE YARD at the west end of the bridge. |

SP 7375 |
| Description: |
Espee SD40R 7375 and SD45T-2 9209 were parked on the old main line with an eastbound train in the Lafayette Yard. The new main line, which ran around the north side of the yard, is right on the other side of the train; while the tracks on this side of the train are Number 1 and 2. The small building on the left housed the electronic equipment for a weight-in-motion scale, and the tall signal helped a crew maintain the proper speed while weighing cars. |
