Southern No. 194 |
| Description: |
The locomotives on Southern Railway No. 194, running today as Extra SP 6665 North, were stopped on the Gentilly Boulevard (U.S. 90) underpass as the train prepared to head out of New Orleans. This was the run-through train from Houston to Birmingham via the SP-SOU, and the train was stopped while crews changing on SP caboose 4402 back at Oliver Junction. The motive power was GP35 6665, U25B's 6735 and 6730, and GP35 6659; and this was the last time I photographed SP U25B's as most of them were withdrawn from service by the end of the year. |

Willamette Industries GE |
| Description: |
This un-numbered General Electric loco belonged to Willamette Industries at Taylor, Louisiana - just west of Gibsland on the Illinois Central Gulf. The unit was built in December 1941 as Louisiana Southern No. 501, and even though this was a 45-ton design the railroad specified that it only weigh 44 tons to insure that it could be operated by just one man. It was subsequently owned by the Pacolet Manufacturing Co. in Pacolet, South Carolina and by Johnson Railway Supply in Georgia before move back to Louisiana. |

ICG SW14 1461 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central Gulf SW14 1461 was heading upriver along the Mississippi near the Prytania Street grade crossing with a train of Polish coke. The coke had been unloaded at the Public Bulk Terminal which was served by the New Orleans Public Belt, and the NOPB delivered the train to the ICG at Cotton Warehouse Yard. The manicured green area along the tracks is actually a 20-foot high levee, and the stuff in the foreground belonged to one of the Bisso compainies. |
