SSW train BEASK |
| Description: |
Cotton Belt train BEASK -- on its way from Beaumont to the Alton & Southern at East St. Louis -- was tied down in Cart siding, about three miles north of Bossier City, Louisiana. The 'K' suffix indicated that the cargo included hazardous material. The train was going to be here for a while, as there was no crew and it had been opened for a grade crossing a few cars back. Fortunately, someone was sweeping out the cab, so I was able to obtain the train's identity! The three GE's were B30-7's 7868, 7820 and 7848. That's the Red River levee to the right of the 8294's snow plow. |

| Description: |
Southern Pacific SD40T-2 8362 and B30-7 7805 were pulling a Louisville & Nashville train towards the railroad's GENTILLY YARD at Read Boulevard. The cars had been a southbound run-through train which was parked out on the MICHOUD SIDING because the SP wasn't ready to accept it, and now these two units had been sent out from the L&N yard to pick it up. |

SP SD40T-2 8548 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific SD40T-2 8548 had been built in January 1979, and most of it was still shiney enough to reflect the afternoon sun as it was leaving Avondale Yard on a westbound train. The locomotive was assigned Union Pacific number 8658, but this was not applied before it was retired on 6 August 2002. It was subsequently GE Credit (GECX) 8548 and then Helm (HLCX) 6140. |

Amtrak No. 1 |
| Description: |
During the 1980 Christmas Season, Amtrak regularly leased Southern Pacific SD40T-2 units to assist pairs of SDP40F's on very long SUNSETS, and here is SP 8564 - along with Amtrak 511 and 518 - accelerating a westbound train out of Avondale Yard. By this time, most of the other western long-distance trains had been re-equipped with SUPERLINERS; so Amtrak was able to run 15-car SUNSETS, which was still steam heated, using some of the cars released from these other trains. Within a few months, the SUNSET itself would also receive SUPERLINERS, and it would never again operate with this many cars unless something REALLY special was going on! |
