| Louisville & Nashville train No. 8 – the northbound PAN-AMERICAN – was leaving New Orleans shortly before it was discontinued on 1 May 1971. The train was operating over the Southern Railway’s New Orleans Terminal Co. subsidiary through City Park, on its way from the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal’s EASTERN CONNECTION at EAST CITY JUNCTION (milepost NOT-3.4) to the L&N connection at L&N JUNCTION (M.P. NOT-6.9). The operator at EAST CITY JUNCTION TOWER had put No. 8 on the “wrong” (i.e., southbound) track because an eastbound Southern Pacific transfer run had just passed him and was occupying the northbound track. The Southern identified these tracks as north- and southbound, even though they ran from west to east! (approximate date of photo) |
