Illinois Central Gulf         
The AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN was passing an Illinois Central caboose and a pair of new Illinois Central Gulf GP38-2s as it pulled away from its brief stop in Reserve, Louisiana. The train was on its way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, and had stopped to pick up some journalists. The engine in the distance was ICG GP8 7702 and the smokestacks belonged to the Godchaux sugar refinery, which operated from 1917 until 1985.
