Title:  SP 2298
Description:  It's a little after 6 P.M. and the New Iberia Night Switcher has just gone to work switching train No. 520, the local from the salt mine at Avery Island. Engineer Shirley Landry enjoys the fresh-but-warm early evening air on the front of his locomotive, as the ground crew is probably bleeding off the air from the cars. The 2298 was an SW9 built in December 1951 as Cotton Belt 1059, renumbered SSW 2205 in 1965, upgraded into SP 2298 in March 1973, retired in December 1986, and sold to Rail Switching Service in April 1988.

SP SW9E 2299
Title:  SP SW9E 2299
Description:  Southern Pacific upgraded SW9 2299 and a caboose were parked on the tie-up track in Raceland, Louisiana. The locomotive and caboose that were based here switched at Raceland and worked the Lockport Branch. The little building to the left of the locomotive housed the ice machine, while the larger structure -- with the fire extinguisher -- was a combination dressing room/shower/restroom. The bulkhead flat car was on the team track with a load for either Raceland Lumber or Robicheaux Lumber. The 2299 was built in January 1952 as Cotton Belt 1060, renumbered SSW 2206 in 1965, and upgraded into SP 2299 in March 1973. It was retired in December 1986 and sold to Railway Switching Service in March 1988. The Espee leased this trackage to the Louisiana & Delta shortly before the UP merger in 1996.
