Model 40 |
| Description: |
Built on 29 August 1942 as U.S. Army 7953, this little loco was one of only 11 Model 40 diesel-electric switchers built by the Electro-Motive Corporation and its successor, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Built between August 1940 and April 1943, each 4-wheel unit weighed between 40 and 44 tons and was powered by two 150HP Detroit Diesel Model 6-71 truck engines. It looks like serial number 2285 spent its entire life in southeast Louisiana. Known owners included the Gulf South Warehouse Co. in New Orleans (which may have been its original assignment for the U.S. Army), American Creosote at Southport, and the Green Brothers' Coastal Sand & Gravel operation at Lacombe, where it was photographed in derelict condition. |

Coastal Sand & Gravel |
| Description: |
Built on 29 August 1942 as U.S. Army 7953, this little loco was one of only 11 Model 40 diesel-electric switchers built by the Electro-Motive Corporation and its successor, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Built between August 1940 and April 1943, each 4-wheel unit weighed between 40 and 44 tons and was powered by two 150HP Detroit Diesel Model 6-71 truck engines. It looks like serial number 2285 spent its entire life in southeast Louisiana. Known owners included the Gulf South Warehouse Co. in New Orleans (which may have been its original assignment for the U.S. Army), American Creosote at Southport, and the Green Brothers' Coastal Sand & Gravel operation at Lacombe, where it was photographed in derelict condition. |

Louisiana Industries Boxcab |
| Description: |
Although this little locomotive was photographed at the Louisiana Industries gravel pit at Price, along the former ICG/GM&O Bogue Chitto Branch, it was still lettered for its previous owner, Celotex Corp. No. 3. The 22.5-ton locomotive was built under H.K. Porter serial number 7146 on 4 June 1929. It and its twin, serial number 7150 of 16 July, were built as Cia. Transcontinental de Petroleo Nos. 1 and 2 for use at Veracruz, Mexico. After only five years south of the border, both of the locos were repatriated to the U.S.. This was probably done in anticipation of the Mexican Government nationalizing the oil industry, which took place in 1938. The two locos were sold to the Equitable Equipment Co. in New Orleans -- a shipyard which dealt in used locomotives -- in 1936 and advertised for sale. This unit, the 7146, was sold to Celotex Corp. on 5 May 1939 for use at Marrero, LA and renumbered 3. The 7150 ended up at the South Coast Corporation's GEORGIA PLANTATION sugar refinery at Mathews, LA. Since Celotex owned South Coast, the 7150 may have been sold at the same time as the 7146. Celotex 3 remained at Marrero until being replaced by an Alco S3 in 1976 and moving here. The ICG branch serving this gravel pit had been abandoned in August 1980. |

Columbia & Silver Creek 9 |
| Description: |
This SW600 was built as EMD serial number 19301 in June 1954, and is one of only 14 examples of this model. It and its twin, No. 8, were bought by McClouth Steel for use at Trenton, MI. No. 9 then went through several changes in ownership, becoming Olin Chemical No. 9 for use at Pasadena, TX; then Louisiana & Pine Bluff No. 9 at Huttig, AR. After the L&PB shut down, it worked at the Olin Kraft paper mill in Monroe before becoming Columbia & Silver Creek (CLSL) No. 9 on the Marion County Railroad Authority's ex-ICG line between Columbia and Silver Creek. After Georgia Pacific became to the operator of the Columbia-Silver Creek line, No. 9 moved to the CLSL's new operation on the former ICG line between Taylorsville and Soso, MS. |
