| When the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN was on its way from Jackson, Mississippi to Baton Rouge via the Illinois Central Gulf, it made a brief stop in Hammond, Louisiana to pick up media personnel for the last 45 miles of the trip. Here, the train had just pulled onto the line from Hammond to Baton Rouge and stopped so that folks could get an up-close look at 4-8-4 4449; and then it would make a second stop so that the guests could board the last car. Notice Uncle Sam bending down on the left of the loco. |
