L&N GP9 553 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville GP9 553 was parked on one of the ready tracks at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on 24 March 1961. The locomotive had come in from Pass Christian, Mississippi on commuter Train No. 9 and would return east (railroad north) on No. 12. The 553 was one of three L&N GP7’s (550-552) and two GP9’s (553, 554) that were equipped with both steam generators and train control equipment. These locomotives spent much of their early lives on the line between New Orleans and Mobile, and were frequently used on commuter train Nos. 9 and 12 up until these trains were discontinued on 6 May 1964. The 553 was renumbered 540 in 1965, and later became L&N 2410 and then Seaboard System 2410. |

SP GP9 3007 |
| Description: |
Recently-repainted Southern Pacific GP9 3007 was on the ready track at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and was going to be the trailing unit on the westbound SUNSET. It was built in 1955 as the 5625 and was renumbered to the 3007 in the 1965 renumbering. At this time the unit still had dual cab controls, as shown by the wings on the long hood; but it lost its bi-directional controls when it was upgraded into GP9R 3190 in 1977. (approximate month and day) |

On a foggy morning, low-nose Espe GP9 3712 was pushing the ICG's New Orleans wreck train up the east approach of the Huey P. Long Bwidge to help fix a derailment.

Bump |
| Description: |
On a foggy morning in October low-nose SP GP9 3712 pushes the ICG's New Orleans wreck train into the West High Curve of the Huey P. Long Bridge. Just beyond the wrecker, and on the opposite track, is SP GP9E 3387 and - sticking up in the air - SP caboose 1274. The 1274 was on the rear of a westbound train that was stuck on the bridge behind an MP train. For some reason, the MP could not take their train into their yard; so the SP decided to send some engines over from the east side of the river and pull their train back off of the bridge. Anyhow, it was a dark and foggy night, and SP 3387 coupled into the 1274 just a little too hard, causing it to jack-knief like this; and now the ICG wrecker has come to make things right! |

Southern GP9 6258 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP9 6258 leads an eastbound transfer run over BACK BELT at the Canal Boulevard underpass. The train is on its way from the KCS interchange in Metairie to the Southern's Oliver Yard. The 6258 was built in November 1956 as Central of Georgia 160. The Southern acquired the CofG in 1963, but the unit retained its original number until the Southern renumbered all of its GP9's into a common number series in 1972. When photographed here, the 6258 was finishing out its career in yard and transfer service. It was retired the next year and sold for scrap. The bridge here was one of about two dozen grade separations built as a part of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal Project in the early 1950's. |

The fourth GP9 -- 6266 -- was switching in the yard. In less than a year, the old geeps would be replaced with brand new MP15DC' |

Southern Geeps |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8252 and GP9 6263 were on the West Tie-Up Track at the railroad's OLIVER YARD in New Orleans. These geeps had replaced NW2's in yard and transfer service around the New Orleans area, and were themselves replaced by new MP15DC units in 1982. The 8252 had been built in 1951 as the 2157 and was sold for scrap in 1981, at which time it was replaced here by a GP9. The empty space between the trucks - on each side of the unit - had been occupied by a pair of 400-gallon water tanks when it had a steam generator, but it still had an 800-gallon fuel tank along the centerline of the unit. GP9 6263 had been built in 1956 as Central of Georgia 164, and it was sold for scrap in 1983. |

Illinois Central geeps 9054, 9313 and 3003 were backing onto their southbound train (on the left) after having run down to the Hammond depot to exchange some paperwork with the agent. The trainman next to the middle unit would throw the switch for the line to Baton Rouge as soon as the engines pass. The passenger cars on the left belonged to the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, while the geep on the right was the Hammond Switcher. This photo was taken about 20 months after the IC-GM&O merger, but this still looked just like the IC! (approximate date) |

IC(G) GP9 9201 |
| Description: |
The Illinois Central bought 26 GP9's equipped for passenger service, and all were built with a 62:15 (65 MPH) gear ratio; but this was one of four units (9200-9203) modified with high-speed 59:18 (85 MPH) gearing for use on the Chicago-Omaha line. By the time the 9201 was photographed deep in Gulf Mobile & Ohio territory - across from the Bogalusa depot - its high-speed days were long over. It was subsequently rebuilt in May 1979 as Ashley Drew & Northern GP10 1811. (approximate day) |

IC GP9 9305 |
| Description: |
In 1957 EMD made a number of internal and external changes to its GP9, and the most noticable alteration in appearance was the use of two 48-inch radiator fans instead of four 36-inch ones. The Illinois Central received 60 of these units in December 1957 and January 1958; and to easily distinguish them from the older GP9's (9000-9257) it put them in a new 9300-series. Here was the 9305 in Bogalusa, with GP18 9416. (approximate date) |

| Description: |
Illinois Central (Gulf) GP9 9342 was one of several unrebuilt geeps stored at the ICG's Mays Yard, just west of New Orleans. By this time, the Paducah rebuild programs had ended and this 25-year old unit probably never ran again. |

| Description: |
After the Illinois Central Gulf stopped rebuilding locomotives at its Paducah Shop in 1982, unrebuilt units and locos needing service went into storage around the railroad. Here were four GP9's, a GP10 and a GP18 in storage at Mays Yard. Ex-GM&O GP38 713, on the far right, was on a set of road power. |
