L&N No. 9 (1) |
| Description: |
This was a view from the cab of Louisville & Nashville E7A 780 on train No. 9, the southbound PAN-AMERICAN, as it made its way into New Orleans. The train was running alongside Interstate Highway 10, having just passed through GENTILLY YARD and crossed the Louisa Street grade crossing. Just ahead was the Southern Railway crossing at N.E. TOWER (milepost 803.75), while No. 9’s destination at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was about 10 miles away. The train was discontinued about two years later, on 1 May 1971, with the advent of Amtrak. (approximate date of photo) |

| Description: |
This was a view through the fireman’s windshield of Louisville & Nashville E7A 780 on train No. 9, the southbound PAN-AMERICAN, as the train prepared to back into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal at SOUTH WYE JUNCTION. On the left was Earhart Boulevard, while just ahead was the South Dupre Street grade crossing and beyond that was an Illinois Central switch engine with a cut of gondolas. The PAN-AMERICAN was the last L&N passenger train serving New Orleans and was discontinued on 1 May 1971, with the beginning of Amtrak. (approximate date of photo) |
