An Odd Couple
Title:  An Odd Couple
Description:  Missouri Pacific GP7 1761 was teamed up with Illinois Central Gulf GP10 8291 on a westbound MP transfer run near the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge. In the early 1980's ICG GP10's would occasionally show up on MP transfer runs and yard jobs in the New Orleans area, but this combination of power was not very common. MP 1761 was retired six months after this photo was taken.
