SP (T&NO) Mk-5 745
Title:  SP (T&NO) Mk-5 745
Description:  Former Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) Mikado 745 and its 4-car exhibit train were heading west on the BNSF (former SP) at Baldwin, Louisiana. The train had just crossed the Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal (M.P. 104.1) on the first day of its tour around Louisiana and part of Mississippi. When this drawbridge was built in 1941 the main line of the Southern Pacific was double-tracked between Bayou Sale (milepost 95.6) and Cade, Louisiana (M.P. 132.1). The second track was removed in the early 1950's, and this bridge now provides the only evidence that there was once double track along this line. The train was owned by the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust and had been restored by the Louisiana Steam Train Association.

SP 745
Title:  SP 745
Description:  Southern Pacific (T&NO) Mikado 745 was photographed from a moving vehicle along Louisiana Highway 631 as it headed west from New Orleans on the BNSF SUNSET ROUTE. The photo was taken between Paradis and Des Allemands as the 745 was beginning the first leg of a state-wide tour. SP freight engines never had white-stripped running boards or driver tires, but we'll overlook that on this fine, sunny April morning. The plaque on the tender was made when the locomotive was donated to the City of New Orleans in 1956.
