The train was powered by F4 326 with P30CH units 710 and 721. This station had been built by the Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) in 1912 but was severely damaged by a fire in 2001.

Yard |
| Description: |
This aerial view of the west end of Lafayette Yard depicted the area around the locomotive and car shops, and included at least 21 locomotives. By this time, SW1500's had replaced the rebuilt 1200-horsepower EMD switchers that had previously worked here. The long, narrow building to the left of the engine house had been the superintendent's office; but after those people moved into a new building next to the depot in 1982-83, this became the new yard office. It accommodated the yardmaster, trainmaster, and chief clerk; and included locker rooms for the switchmen and trainmen. The long, narrow building to the right of the two shop buildings housed the mechanical foreman, B&B Department and a small machine shop. The yellow vehicle to the left of this building was the L-8 boom truck. The north side of the yard was being used as a storage-in-transit facility for loaded covered hoppers. The main line is at the top of the picture, next to Walker Road. |

MPEX MP2000C 6201 |
| Description: |
Motive Power Industries MPEX MP2000C demonstrator 6201 was on the BNSF at Lafayette, Louisiana. The locomotive had arrived on New Orleans Public Belt from Houston on 25 August 2003 on a 30-day lease to see if the NOPB was interested in buying it; but they weren’t. It left for Houston on the BNSF on 22 October 2003 and was set out at Lafayette because of an air brake problem. The 6201 was built on the frame of an SD35 which had been built in January 1965 as Southern Pacific 4828. The unit was quickly renumbered 6912, rebuilt into SD35R 6951 in 1974, renumbered 3102 in 1980 and then 2958 in 1993. It was retired 1995, sold to Progress Rail in 1996 and ended up at Boise Locomotive in1998 where it was rebuilt into the 6201. When Wabtec closed the Boise plant in 2020, the 6201 was being used as an Emissions Test Bed, and it was scrapped there during January 2022. (approximate date of image) |

BNSF SDP40 6327 |
| Description: |
BNSF SDP40 6327 was at Lafayette, Louisiana on Lafayette-to-Temple, Texas train H-LALTPL. It was one of only three units of this model on BNSF. The SDP40 was a rather rare model, as only 20 examples built: six as Great Northern 320-325 in 1966 and 14 as Nacionales de Mexico 8522-8535 in 1968 and 1970. The GN units were renumbered Burlington Northern 9850-9855 and then 6394-6399; although 6397 was temporarily renumbered1976 during the nation’s bicentennial. The 6394-6396 were retired before the BNSF merger, but BN 6397-6399 became BNSF 6325-6327. This unit was retired in June 2008 and donated to the Minnesota Transportation Museum for restoration as GN 325. |
