SU-1/EDNW
Title:  SU-1/EDNW
Description:  SU-1, a push/pull helper set assigned to Lanesboro, assists EDNW in their runaround move. The D&H had shut down the line over Ararat between Lanesboro and Carbondale, but was still usung the segment between Nineveh and Lanesboro and transferring to ConRail's ex Erie Southern Tier at Lanesboro. This required a reverse move through "JN" junction, hence the helpers.

KCS SD40-2 680
Title:  KCS SD40-2 680
Description:  Kansas City Southern SD40-2 680 and 683 were at WEST YARD, just west of New Orleans. These were two of 14 KCS long-nose "snoot" units (677-690) which were originally equipped for radio-control helper operation, and these were very unusual in New Orleans until radio-control helpers were replaced by manned helpers. Not all of the r/c units were snoots, but they could all be identified by their three Motorola antennas, instead if just one.
