Amtrak No. 58 |
| Description: |
This was a view from the rear of Amtrak train No. 58 - the northbound PANAMA LIMITED - as it rolled through East Bridge Junction at 60 MPH. The train was on the Illinois Central Gulf heading out of New Orleans, and the track on the right was a connection to the New Orleans Public Belt and the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. Just beyond the signal on the left was a connection with the Southern Railway. The photo was taken from Amtrak observation-lounge car 3344, previously Seaboard Coast Line 5844 and originally Seaboard Air Line 6604. |

SP MP15AC 2710 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific MP15AC 2710 -along with the 2704 - and Cotton Belt caboose 60 were in the New Orleans Public Belt's COTTON WAREHOUSE YARD. They had just arrived with a transfer run from the Espee's AVONDALE YARD on the west side of the Mississippi River, and were preparing to return with a westbound train. All of those orange box cars and intermodal cars were unwanted NOPB incentive per diem cars. In this view, the river is just off to the right, and the water tower on the right of SP 2710 was in the Illinois Central Gulf's STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD. The silos on the right were a part of the port's Public Grain Elevator, which was right along the Mississippi. |
