SOU 7018, WP 3531, UP 2525, and MP 3214  Contributor's Pick!       
A variety of power rests at the Avondale diesel shop. The MP diesel shop in the background was partially destroyed during Hurricane Katrina and eventually torn down. That was the best excuse yet to move locomotive maintenance to Livonia, LA, no more diesel shop.
