L&N No. 9 |
| Description: |
On the last day of 1970 the Louisville & Nashville’s southbound PAN-AMERICAN arrived in New Orleans behind U28B 2500 and E8A 796. The 5-car train consisted of baggage car 1473, coaches 3244 and 3250, counter-lounge car 2800 and 10-roomette/6-double-bedroom sleeper 3411 KENTUCKY RIVER. We don’t know where the GE was added to the train, but it was already on when the train arrived in Mobile.

L&N C420 1313 |
| Description: |
When the Louisville & Nashville and the Southern Pacific began operating run-through trains through New Orleans in 1969, geeps were the most common locomotives, followed by GE units; but the L&N would occasionally provide an Alco. Such was the case this day, when L&N C420 1313 showed up behind L&N GP38 4002 and SP GP35’s 6634 and 6656 on a westbound train near Franklin Avenue. The 4-year-old Alco was still in its original paint scheme, with its road number on its hood and an emblem on its cab. (approximate date of photo) |
