| Southern Railway executive sleeper 18 GEORGIA and business car 6 were at SOUTHERN RAILWAY PARK in New Orleans, along with steam heater car 960603 and Norfolk & Western business cars 100 and 500. The cars were here for a few days during the 1975-76 Sugar Bowl and New Year festivities. (The game took place at the Louisiana Superdome on 31 December 1975 and the Alabama CRIMSON TIDE beat the Penn State NITTANY LIONS 13–6.) The park was created behind the Southern’s office building, on Saint Louis Street at Basin Street, when the railroad’s TERMINAL STATION was closed in April 1954 and lasted about 40 years, until the line serving it was abandoned.
