Northbound Ferry Trip |
| Description: |
On Monday 19 November 1984 Southern Railway 4501 was heading out of New Orleans after a pair of weekend trips to Hattiesburg and back on the DEEP SOUTH STEAM EXCURSIONS. The ferry trip was photographed on the New Orleans Terminal Co. at milepost 4. It consisted of water car W.T. 53, GP38 2723, a coal gondola, combine 726, lightweight coaches 841, 842 and 843, commissary car 4061, and heavyweight coaches 1067, 3659, 1068, 1081, 1086, 1087 and 1056 LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. The GP38 was added to the northbound train on Saturday because of bad coal on the 4501 and remained on the train. The next year would be 4501’s last visit to the Crescent City and the final DEEP SOUTH STEAM EXCURSIONS. |

SP Mk-5 745 |
| Description: |
Former Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans ) Mk-5 Mikado 745 was heading out of the New Orleans area at Central Avenue on its first break-in run. Although the trip began in the Kansas City Southern’s WEST YARD and turned on the KCS at Reserve, Louisiana, here the little train was on the Canadian National-Illinois Central. Since 1985 the KCS has had trackage rights over this line between here at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION and Frellsen. The 745 and ex-Southern Railway caboose X-511 were owned by the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust and operated by the Louisiana Steam Train Association. |
