L&N 4135 and 3026         
For most of the twentieth century, the Missouri Pacific's Race Street Yard was the interchange with the Louisville & Nashville; so L&N locomotives were regular visitors here. Up until the late 1960's, these were usually a single switch engine or geep; but then the L&N began using multiple-unit sets of road power which would run through to the MP's Avondale Yard at the west end of the Huey Long Bridge. Here a pair of geeps have arrived from the L&N's Gentilly Yard and are doing some switching before continuing west to Avondale.
