UP Yard |
| Description: |
Well-weathered former Missouri-Kansas-Texas GP38AC 337 was outside the Union Pacific engine house at Avondale, Louisiana. The locomotive had been built in February 1970 as Illinois Central 9513, became an ICG unit in 1972 and was leased to the MKT in 1985, after its lease to the ICG expired. It became a Union Pacific unit in 1988, when the UP acquired the Katy, was renumbered UP 1993 in January 1991 and was purchased by the UP in October 1996, upon expiration of its lease. The loco was renumbered UP 1793 in December 1997, then UP 293 in June 2001 and was retired on 27 August 2009. It became LTEX 3805 and then Columbia & Cowlitz/Patriot Rail 3805. |

Southbound ICG |
| Description: |
In 1973, the year after the ICG merger, GM&O GP38 721 and GP38-2 744 lead a southbound train past the Bogalusa depot on its way to South Yard. After the merger, the ICG discontinued the regular operation of a through train from Bogalusa south to New Orleans; so almost all of the rail traffic moving into Bogalusa came in from the north on trains like this. (approximate date) |

ICG No. 33 |
| Description: |
On 10 August 1972, the day of the Illinois Central-Gulf Mobile & Ohio merger, the ICG discontinued the regular operation of former GM&O trains 32 and 33 between Bogalusa and New Orleans; but the trains continued to run occasionally to serve a customer at the south end of the former GM&O Canal Yard. In this view taken shortly after the merger, No. 33 was entering the main line of the Southern Railway just south of the Slidell depot, to continue its trip to New Orleans. The roof of the depot can be seen right behind the loco.This ICG trainman had previously lined the spring switch (SS) for the siding, to comply with the "Five-Minute-Rule" and once the time was up he threw it again just as his train was about to enter the main line. Setting the switch for the siding five minutes before the train entered the main line made nearby signals go red, and this prevented mainline trains from colliding with No. 33. We know this was shortly after the ICG merger because the train was short and it wasn't running extra. Once Nos. 32 and 33 were removed from the Southern timetable, these occasional trains would have to run as extras. (approximate date) |

Gibson Street |
| Description: |
After crossing the Bogue Falaya into Covington, the ICG Shore Line District ran down East Gibson Street for two and a half blocks before turning north. The northward local is about to cross North Columbia Street and enter the 5.75 degree curve leading to the railroad station. ICG GP38 9542 is the former GM&O 723, and this was one of the very few times I saw a former GM&O unit on this former GM&O branch. The parking lot on the left of the train was in front of an A&P Super Market, and the red brick building beyond there is the U. S. Post Office.The train is a little longer than usual, with 20 cars and a caboose. It has ATSF bulkhead flatcar 94582 for Poole Lumber, ICG 50' box car 516327 for Marsolan Feed, six insulated box cars of beer for the upcoming Labor Day weekend (BN 749009, 747248, ATSF 525287, MP 782085, 775592, 781662), four empty IC pulpwood cars which will be dropped off at Triangle Timber tomorrow (1829, 63660, 1599, 1199), two empty gondolas for the P&W scrap yard (CAGY 13035, SCL 130413), three more gondolas that will got out tomorrow (L&N 171416, 36677?, SCL 130640), caboose 199034, and three empty covered hoppers that were just picked up at USS Agri-Chem (ATSF 300620, IC 765333, ICG 765668). |
