Orinoco Units |
| Description: |
CVG (Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana) Ferrominera Orinoco C.A. units 1050, 1049 and 1051 were photographed at the Illinois Central's MAYS YARD near New Orleans. They spent most of January 1997 here waiting for their ship to come in so they could be shipped to their new home in Venezuela. The locomotives were built as Norfolk & Western high-nose SD35's 1557, 1554 and 1569 before being rebuilt into SD38-2TC units by VMV Enterprises. The IC finally delivered them to the New Orleans Public Belt on 23 January for movement to the Seventh Street Wharf. This state-owned operation was originally developed in the early 1950's by the U.S. Steel subsidiary Orinoco Mining Co. (approximate date) |

GM&O Canal Yard |
| Description: |
This was a view looking north from the south end of the Gulf Mobile & Ohio's CANAL YARD in New Orleans. A set of geeps were resting in the REBEL SHED, originally built to house the REBEL streamliner in between runs. Because of the GM&O's track layout in New Orleans, trains entered and left from the yard at this end, while a connection with the Louisville & Nashville was at the other end. The yard was closed on the day of the IC-GM&O merger in 1972. (approximate date) |

ICG Shore Line Local |
| Description: |
Former Gulf Mobile & Ohio GP35 639 was powering the Illinois Central Gulf's Shore Line Local through Mandeville, Louisiana; on its way from Covington to Bogalusa. The train had just crossed U.S. Highway 190 and was now turning east towards Slidell, where it would turn north again and head up the former GM&O main line to Bogalusa. The whistle post next to those red and black CZCX (Crown Zellerbach Corporation) pulpwood cars was for Carroll Street. After the branch was abandoned in 1991 most of the right of way became the Tammany Trace trail. (approximate date) |

ICG GP10 8029 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central Gulf GP10 8029 - along with solid orange GP38 9523 - was on a ballast train on the former Gulf Mobile & Ohio Shore Line Branch parked for the evening at Lacombe, Louisiana. All of the new ballast didn't help cut costs or generate revenue, as the branch was abandoned in 1991. |

Southern Geeps |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8252 and GP9 6263 were on the West Tie-Up Track at the railroad's OLIVER YARD in New Orleans. These geeps had replaced NW2's in yard and transfer service around the New Orleans area, and were themselves replaced by new MP15DC units in 1982. The 8252 had been built in 1951 as the 2157 and was sold for scrap in 1981, at which time it was replaced here by a GP9. The empty space between the trucks - on each side of the unit - had been occupied by a pair of 400-gallon water tanks when it had a steam generator, but it still had an 800-gallon fuel tank along the centerline of the unit. GP9 6263 had been built in 1956 as Central of Georgia 164, and it was sold for scrap in 1983. |
