Yard Job Parked by The Schoolhouse - Ground-level View         
This appears to be a yard job parked on the Drill Extension track leading into Avondale Yard. It is likely that the cars shown here will be kicked, switched, drilled, etc., into the yard tracks, or this may be an unusually long Morgan City Local train; the sand hopper cars are likely bound for one of three facilities along the Lafayette subdivision (one at Raceland, one at Boeuf, and a third in New Iberia), and the loaded pipe gondolas are likely bound for one of about five pipe yards in the area (one at Fort St. Leon in Plaquemines Parish, one in Marrero, one in Westwego, one in Boeuf, or one in Morgan City), and the large LPG tank cars may be bound for the Discovery Gas Plant in Paradís.
