| 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) |
