IC GP9 9305 |
| Description: |
In 1957 EMD made a number of internal and external changes to its GP9, and the most noticable alteration in appearance was the use of two 48-inch radiator fans instead of four 36-inch ones. The Illinois Central received 60 of these units in December 1957 and January 1958; and to easily distinguish them from the older GP9's (9000-9257) it put them in a new 9300-series. Here was the 9305 in Bogalusa, with GP18 9416. (approximate date) |

Amtrak PANAMA |
| Description: |
Amtrak SDP40F 616 and a sibling power the northbound PANAMA LIMITED out of New Orleans over New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal track. The debris along the track are the remnants of the platforms at the former Carrollton Avenue Station. The former inbound main line had been located to the right of the train, but was removed in around 1969. Signs such as the one on the right were placed on several of the communication poles along here so that engineers on inbound trains stopping at the station wouldn't block Carrollton Junction, where the NOUPT Eastern and Western Connections separated. When NOUPT opened in 1954, the common use of train radios was still a decade or more in the future! (date approximate) |

Southern Local |
| Description: |
During WWII the U.S. Government built an aircraft assembly plant along Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans and the Southern Railway constructed a 1-mile spur to serve it. Here, Consolidated Vultee (later known as Convair) built about 220 PBY-5 CATALINA amphibious patrol planes. Unlike most aircraft plants, this one had no runways; so each finished plane was moved down a ramp into the lake where it took off! After the war the plant was sold to American Standard and was used to manufacture plumbing fixtures. Up into the 1980’s the plant was served by the northbound local out of New Orleans, but later it was switched by a yard job. In this undated view the local was pulling out of the plant, crossing Leon C. Simon Dr. and about to cross Franklin Ave. The spur was removed after the plant closed. (date of photo unknown) |

Floyd Volz |
| Description: |
Long-time New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal supervisor Floyd Volz was standing next to Amtrak dining car 8099 as it sat in the station on the PANAMA LIMITED. The car had been built by Pullman-Standard in December 1949 as Norfolk & Western 493 GENERAL WILLIAM MAHONE, but its name was removed in 1957. Mahone was a confederate military officer and a prominent figure in the early history of the N&W. The car was renumbered Amtrak 8099 in July 1972, retired in May 1977 and sold to the Lake Shore Chapter NRHS. It was subsequently purchased by the Norfolk Southern who numbered it 18 and restored its original name, and then renamed it NEW ORLEANS in 2015. |
