SPCC RS11 13 |
| Description: |
Southern Peru Copper Corp. RS11 number 13 was in the Kansas City Southern's WEST YARD, just outside of New Orleans, coupled to one of the railroad's 350-379 series homemade bay-window cabooses. No. 13 was built in September 1959 as Southern Pacific 5869, renumbered SP 5869 in 1965 and retired in May 1973. Here it was on its way from being overhauled by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho to export through the Port of New Orleans. KCS cabs 350-379 rode on Allied FULL-CUSHION trucks from former troop sleepers. The trucks were banned from interchange service in 1955, but that didn't seem to bother the KCS ! |
