Southern Geeps |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8252 and GP9 6263 were on the West Tie-Up Track at the railroad's OLIVER YARD in New Orleans. These geeps had replaced NW2's in yard and transfer service around the New Orleans area, and were themselves replaced by new MP15DC units in 1982. The 8252 had been built in 1951 as the 2157 and was sold for scrap in 1981, at which time it was replaced here by a GP9. The empty space between the trucks - on each side of the unit - had been occupied by a pair of 400-gallon water tanks when it had a steam generator, but it still had an 800-gallon fuel tank along the centerline of the unit. GP9 6263 had been built in 1956 as Central of Georgia 164, and it was sold for scrap in 1983. |

| Description: |
Southern Railway GP9 6258 leads an eastbound transfer run over BACK BELT at the Canal Boulevard underpass. The train is on its way from the KCS interchange in Metairie to the Southern's Oliver Yard. The 6258 was built in November 1956 as Central of Georgia 160. The Southern acquired the CofG in 1963, but the unit retained its original number until the Southern renumbered all of its GP9's into a common number series in 1972. When photographed here, the 6258 was finishing out its career in yard and transfer service. It was retired the next year and sold for scrap. The bridge here was one of about two dozen grade separations built as a part of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal Project in the early 1950's. |

AMTK 441 |
| Description: |
Amtrak 441 was one of about a dozen E-units that were stored at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Within a few months, all but one were sold to Precision National Corp. and scrapped here. The 441 was built as Louisville & Nashville E8A 794 in May 1951 and it still wore the F-unit number boxes which the L&N had added. It was renumbered Amtrak 224, rebuilt to E9 specifications in June 1974, and renumbered 441 in November 1975 to make room for F40's. When photographed here it was one month shy of its 30th birthday. |

Amtrak E-Units |
| Description: |
A dozen retired Amtrak E-units were parked at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, waiting to be sold. This auction eliminated almost all of Amtrak's remaining E-units, which were purchased by the Precision National Corp. and then scrapped for their prime movers. On the near track were the 473, 471, 408, 421, 368, 419 (the last E-unit ever built) and 436; while the 426 and 441 were on the left. Other units here included the 411, 422 and 464. |

An Odd Couple |
| Description: |
Missouri Pacific GP7 1761 was teamed up with Illinois Central Gulf GP10 8291 on a westbound MP transfer run near the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge. In the early 1980's ICG GP10's would occasionally show up on MP transfer runs and yard jobs in the New Orleans area, but this combination of power was not very common. MP 1761 was retired six months after this photo was taken. |

SOU 6268 |
| Description: |
When this photo was taken, the Southern normally kept four MP15DC's and four GP9's for yard and transfer service in and around New Orleans. In this view from the Galvez Street overpass, GP9's 6258, 6368 and 6263 occupy the West Tie Up Track at Oliver Yard (along with an unidentified tank car), while MP15DC 2369 and a trio of GP50's (7032, 7016 and 7072) sit on the East Tie Up Track. The fourth GP9 -- 6266 -- was switching in the yard. In less than a year, the old geeps would be replaced with brand new MP15DC' |

NOPB-ICG Jefferson Avenue |
| Description: |
This was a view looking upriver along the New Orleans Public Belt towards the Jefferson Avenue Interlocking, where the NOPB crossed the ICG. Behind the fence on the left was the NOPB's engine terminal while on the left was the railroad's COTTON WAREHOUSE YARD which was full of idle NOPB Incentive Per Diem box cars and intermodal flats. The two tracks between the NOPB main lines and the yard belonged to the Illinois Central Gulf. |

Cotton Warehouse Yard |
| Description: |
Back when railroads paid per diem for car usage on a daily - as opposed to an hourly - basis; the ICG, SP and KCS would all interchange cars with the New Orleans Public Belt at the latter railroad's Cotton Warehouse Yard around 6 P.M. It's 6:15 and ICG SW14 1470 is delivering a cut of cars from that railroad's nearby Stuyvesant Docks Yard, SP MP15AC's 2705 and 2710 have brought 19 cars over from their Avondale Yard and are preparing to return home, while NOPB SW1000 104 is waiting to return to work. KCS SW1500 4347 is out-of-sight at the other end of the yard, having just delivered 18 cars. |

KCS TOLMAK |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern office car TOLMAK was parked on a former auto unloading track at West Yard, just outside of New Orleans. That was an auto unloading ramp at the end of the track and the east end of the diesel shop was on the right. The name TOLMAK was derived from the first letter of the six states then served by the railroad: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. The car was subsequently renamed the NEW ORLEANS and is still in service. |

IC 13 |
| Description: |
IC SW1R 13 was switching the McKesson Chemical Co. along Leake Avenue in New Orleans. The locomotive had been built in June 1946 as IC 9027, and was renumbered 612 in October 1953. The railroad extensively rebuilt the locomotive in October 1968, replacing ius 6-cylinder 600-horsepower prime mover with an 8-cylinder 1,000-horsepower one, and renumbered it 13. It was to be the prototype for the rebuilding of the IC's entire freet of SW1's, which would have been renumbered 1-17; but it was the only one done. It spent its later life in New Orleans, and was retired in 1988. |

K&B Distribution Center |
| Description: |
This was the Katz & Besthoff Drugstores distribution center in Metairie, Louisiana as seen from the Illinois Central Gulf tracks. K&B was a regional drug store chain headquartered in New Orleans, and by this time they made little or no use of rail service; but for many years this was a busy cotton warehouse, served by the 2-track yard on the right. The ICG main line was right off to the right and the stop sign on the left was for Labarre Road. In addition to the ICG, the warehouse was also served by the Louisiana & Arkansas (KCS) on the other side, and during WWII the Southern Railway had trackage right to reach the warehouse over the L&A. At one time it was owned by cotton merchants Anderson, Clayton and Co. The M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston is named after Monroe D. Anderson of Anderson, Clayton. |

NOPB-ICG Oak Street |
| Description: |
This was a view looking north on the New Orleans Public Belt eastbound track, facing the Oak Street grade crossing. The empty space on the left had been occupied by a pair of NOPB-KCS interchange tracks. On the right were the NOPB westbound track, the Illinois Central Gulf south- and northbound tracks, and the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board interchange track, which could be accessed by both the NOPB and the ICG. The structure on the right, just across Leake Ave., anchored power lines which crossed over the Mississippi River, which is just off to the left. |

MP GP18 1861 |
| Description: |
Missouri Pacific 1861 was built in 1960 as the 4808, one of 24 GP18's constructed using components from the railroad's two dozen FT units as trade-in credit. These 24 units wjre built with high noses, and this one subsequently received a factory low nose and, like most MP geeps, a 4-stack exhaust manifold. The 4808 was subsequently renumbered 512 and then 1861. It was retired in April 1984 and sold to Precisign National Corp. The photo was taken at Race Street Yard in New Orleans. |
