NOUPT |
| Description: |
The water pouring out of the nose of Louisville & Nashville E7A 791 showed that the boiler water tanks were full as the unit was being serviced from the opposite side at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine facility. L&N E6 and E7 units which had been modified with enlarged boiler water capacity – 2,050 gallons instead on 1,050 – had nose-mounted water filler openings such as this. On the next track, NOUPT SW8 number 1 was moving a set of Illinois Central power which included E6A 4003. (approximate date of photo) |

L&N No. 9 |
| Description: |
On the afternoon of 18 September 1970 Louisville & Nashville train 9 – the southbound PAN-AMERICAN – was crossing Industrial Parkway in eastern New Orleans with E7A 793 and one coach. The reason for this unusually brief consist isn’t known, but the train was running about six hours late! Sometimes the L&N ran a train like this from Flomaton, Alabama to New Orleans if the GULF WIND from Jacksonville missed its connection with No. 9; but on this day, this was the only L&N passenger train into New Orleans. The 793 went back north a few hours later on No. 8, with five cars. |

NOPSI 1008 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service ST. CLAUDE LINE car 1008 was on North Rampart Street at Conti on the line’s last day of streetcar operation. This was one of 20 cars which arrived in 1926, and they were the last streetcars purchased by NOPSI. Unlike most of NOPSI’s cars – which only had two motors – cars 1000-1019 had four. These cars were used on several lines until April 1935 when they were assigned exclusively to the ST. CLAUDE LINE, and all 20 were scrapped soon after they were replaced by buses on the day after this photo was taken. Mossy Oldsmobile was at 420 North Rampart from 1934 until 1956, when it moved to 1331 South Broad Street |

On the last day of 1970 the Louisville & Nashville’s southbound PAN-AMERICAN arrived in New Orleans behind U28B 2500 and E8A 796. We don’t know where the GE was added to No. 9, but it was already on when the train arrived in Mobile. Here were the locomotives being serviced at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. |

SP RSD12 2962 |
| Description: |
There was only one place where Southern Pacific Alco’s mingled with Gulf Mobile & Ohio geeps – the GM&O’s CANAL YARD in New Orleans. In this view, SP RSD12/DL702 2962 was with a pair of siblings on a transfer run from their AVONDALE YARD, while GM&O GP35 604 was one of three geeps that had come in on train No. 33 and – after some switching – they would return north on No. 32. Both of these locomotives rode on the trucks of old Alcos, those under the 2962 came from an RSD5 and those under the 604 from an FA1. Scenes like this disappeared the day of the IC-GM&O merger, less than a year away. (approximate date of photo) |
