L&DRR Bayou Sale Job |
| Description: |
The Louisiana & Delta’s BAYOU SALE JOB was heading east along the main line of the BNSF at the NEW IBERIA station sign, across from WEST END PARK. The lead CF7 was still painted as Allegheny & Eastern 303. The unit was previously Allegheny Railroad 103; but when Genesee & Wyoming Inc. purchased the railroad on 1 October 1992, it renamed it the A&E and renumbered the locomotive 303, which explains that white 3. GWI sent the locomotive to the L&D in July 1993 and it was eventually relettered LDRR 1505. The other locomotive was the 1500. |

GLSR Fantrip |
| Description: |
The Gloster Southern Railroad was originally owned by the Georgia Pacific Corp. and began operating over 35 miles of former IC/ICG track -- between Slaughter, Louisiana and Gloster, Mississippi -- in August 1986. This was a part of the former Yazoo & Mississippi Valley main line between New Orleans and Memphis via Baton Rouge and Vicksburg. On Saturday 15 November 1986 the railroad hosted a fantrip for the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The trip ran ran from the north end of the railroad at Gloster -- site of a GP plywood mill and the reason for the railroad's existence -- south to the ICG connection at Slaughter and back again; with several photo runbys and a lunch stop at Ethel, Louisiana on the northbound trip.The train consisted of GLSR CF7's 1501 and 1501, GLSR box car 1635 (ex-AD&N) and ex-ICG caboose 199452, still with all of its ICG lettering. The railroad had constructed benches and retractable steps in the box car for the comfort and convenience of the passengers! Here is the southbound train on the photo runby at Whitaker, Mississippi; between Centerville (milepost 320.4) and Norwood (329.7). GP stopped operating the railroad when the mill closed, and it was subsequently sold to V&S Railway, LLC of Salt Lake City. |

Cities of New Iberia |
| Description: |
The Louisiana & Delta had only been in business for nine months when this photo was taken. SW1200 -- the CITY OF NEW IBERIA -- and CF7 2622 rest at the railroad's original engine "terminal" in New Iberia. The railroad's headquarters, located in the former Espee depot, is in the left background. The 1200 was one of six locomotives acquired from the Espee when the L&D began operations on 16 March 1987. It was built in January 1964 as Cotton Belt 1062 and was renumbered 2250 the next year. Ex-Santa Fe 2622 was one of two CF7's that the L&D had just purchased. It would become L&D 1501 and assumed the name CITY OF NEW IBERIA from the 1200 after that loco was sent to switch at the Sohio coke calcining plant in Lake Charles in February 1988. |

MSRC CF7's |
| Description: |
There's more than meets the eye here. Although these two units are lettered MSRC 7002 and 7004, they never operated with these numbers. Acquired at the same time as the 7001 and 7003, which were quickly repainted and placed into service; these two units had mechanical problems which sidelined them for a while. As a result of this delay, two other CF7's were repainted and entered service as the 7002 and 7004; and these two were eventually fixed up and repainted as the 7012 and 7011. |
