| Southern Railway power car 960605 was parked across from the station at Slidell, Louisiana. The car had been built by Pullman in May 1926 as the Plan 3584A 10-section / 2-drawing-room sleeping car POINT RICHARDS and during the Pullman divestiture it became Southern 2433 on 31 December 1948. It was withdrawn from Pullman lease on 21 July 1952 and rebuilt into power car (battery charger) BC-2. The car contained two steam generators, four motor-generator sets, a 1000-gallon fuel tank and two 1000-gallon water tanks. BC-2 was later renumbered 960605, then it became Norfolk Southern first 26, was sold to the New Georgia Railroad as NGRX 1402 in 1990 and became Wyoming & Pacific WPRX 1402 in 1995.
