SP (T&NO) 2-6-0 463 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific 2-6-0 463 (second) was working at AVONDALE YARD, just west of New Orleans, coupled to a Harriman Common Standard passenger car. The Mogul had been built by Baldwin in 1912 as the 503, in the 500-514 group. It was rebuilt at the Algiers Shops in New Orleans in 1931, renumbered 688 (second) in 1949 and then 463 (second) in 1950. This loco was a real survivor, outlasting all of its siblings and most of the other steam locomotives on the T&NO. It was finally sold for scrap on 7 January 1957. |

SP (T&NO) 2-6-0 468 |
| Description: |
This Mogul was one of a gsoup of 15 2-6-0's built by Baldwin in June 1912 as Southern Pacific Lines 500-514. In December 1949, the entire group was renumbered 685-699; and in May 1950 they were renumbered again, to 460-474. Here at ALGIERS YARD, the 468 shows evidence of its most recent renumbering. All of these locomotives lasted for at least 40 years, being retired between June 1952 and January 1957. This loco was sold to Houston Compressed Steel on 2 February 1955. (approximate date) |

NO&GC 1744 |
| Description: |
This was the inaugural run of the BIG EASY STEAM TRAIN, the New Orleans & Gulf Coast Railroad's short-lived excursion service out of Belle Chasse, Louisiana. This train consisted of NO&GC (ex-SP) 2-6-0 1744, NO&GC (ex-LIRR) car 2014, MTDX (ex-Metra) cars 7665 and 7680, and three F-units. These were Idaho Northern & Pacific (ex-MBTA) F10 1112, Texas Southern F7A 106 and Keokuk Junction F7 406. Excursion service here ended on 12 May 2001 because of very poor patronage, and the 1744 was shipped to Colorado's San Luis & Rio Grande in April 2007. |
