CSX Detour Train on CN |
| Description: |
Between 15 and 18 March 2004 CSX closed its main line between Montgomery and New Orleans for a track maintenance blitz, and during this time CSX rerouted some trains to the Canadian National at Memphis for movement to New Orleans. Here was CSX R-601 running as CN M-334 at Hammond, Louisiana with SD40M-2 8446, SD50 8647 and 57 cars of mixed freight. This train was delivered to the Union Pacific at the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge. |

IC Mays Yard |
| Description: |
Nacionales de Mexico SD40M-2 13071 was in the Illinois Central’s MAYS YARD near New Orleans, on its way from the VMV shop in Paducah, Kentucky to the NdeM, while awaiting delivery to the Southern Pacific to continue its trip to Mexico. The 13071 was originally Norfolk & Western SD45 1782 and subsequently Ferromex 3200. IC GP40 3104, GP38-2 9621 and GP40 3101 were the power for that evening’s piggyback train. |

Mays Yard |
| Description: |
Freshly-shopped Nacionales de Mexico SD40M-2 13073 really stood out among the Illinois Central Gulf engines around it at Mays Yard near New Orleans. Compared to the spotless and glowing 13073, ICG GP8 7719, SD20 2022 and GP8 7911 look rather subdued. Of course, the 13073 will never look this sharp again! The engine had just been rebuilt from Norfolk & Western SD45 1796 by VMV Enterprises at Paducah, Kentucky and was awaiting delivery to the Southern Pacific for the continuation of its trip to Mexico. |
