Willis Shortline 200 |
| Description: |
This 4-6-0 was built by Baldwin in August 1889 as Texas & Pacific class D-5 number 200. It was sold to the Cinclare Central Plantation at Brusly, in West Baton Rouge Parish, where it was used to haul sugar canc trains over the T&P's Port Allen Branch. Cinclare replaced the 200 with a used 44-ton General Electric center-cab diesel-electric loco, and the Ten Wheeler was sold to the Willis Shortlhne in 1955. It was last used around 1963 and subsequently scrapped. Notice the cable on the coupler which was being used to move the GM&O gondola on the adjacent track. (approximate date) |

| Title: |
L&A 4-6-0 505 |
| Description: |
Louisiana & Arkansas 505 was the last of four Ten-Wheelers (502-505) built by Baldwin in April 1920, and when this photo was taken next to the new engine house at WEST YARD in April 1951 - just outside of New Orleans - it was the only one still on the roster. It was scrapped by the railroad at Pittsburg, Kansas in December 1953. In the background to the left of the tender was a KCS passenger car, because this is where KCS passenger trains were serviced between 1950 and the opening on New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal in 1954.
