L&N E-Units         
Up until the mid-sixties trios of Louisville & Nashville E-units showed up every day at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, on the southbound GULF WIND - PIEDMONT - PAN AMERICAN and the northbound CRESCENT - PAN AMERICAN; but by 13 October 1970 this was VERY unusual. Also, when the L&N regularly ran three E-units together, the last unit almost ALWAYS faced backwards. E7A 793 and E8A 796 were built new for the L&N; while E8A 788 was originally Frisco 2014 named TRUXTON, and had been purchased by the L&N in 1965. An unidentified Illinois Central E-unit was parked by the sand tower, just in off of the PANAMA LIMITED.
