LN E6A #775 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #775 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Looking very sleek and stylish in the original EMD paint scheme, this EMD E6A unit sits proudly in a New Orleans yard. Built in July of 1942 as LN #455B in the original paired coupling, it was renumbered and eventually repainted before the final scrapping in 1968. Although no actual photographer was listed, the photo is from the Louis A. Marre collection.

Title:  LN E6A #752 - Louisville & Nashville

LN E6A #770 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #770 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  The date on this photo lists it as 8/16/1960 but it seems strange that this unit is still wearing the orignal EMD paint scheme. L&N went through a repainting scheme in 1957 of black for freight and dark blue for passenger units. No photographer was listed but the photo is from the H. N. Proctor collection

LN E6A #772 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #772 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Originally built as Louisville & Nashville E6A #452B in the coupled pair set, this loco was renumbered and then repainted around 1957 into the drab dark blue for passenger service - a cost cutting measure by the directors. The unit was eventually scrapped in 1971. The photo is from the H. N. Proctor collection but no photographer listed.

LN E6A #773 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #773 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Looking very worn out, this EMD E6A unit was built in June of 1942 as L&N #453B a the paired set. No date was given but from the appearance, it woulld seem to be late 1950's or even eraly 1960 as the L&N were repainting the units in drab black for freight and dark blue for passenger service - a cost cutting measure but ugly. The unit was one of the last to be scrapped in 1971. No date was given for the photo. Don Dover photo

LN E6A #757 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #757 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Still wearing the drab dark blue paint scheme that Louisville & Nashville applied to its passenger service locos starting in 1957, it is at least clean looking. Built by EMD in July of 1942, it was originally numbered 457A. C.E. Conniff photo

LN E6A #756 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #756 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Typical scene as the EMD E6A unit #756 heads up a long string of varnish as it runs through the countryside. The location was not identified but it could be anywhere in Kentucky, Indiana, or any other state the L&N served. The loco was built in August of 1942 as LN #456A (serial #1626 and lasted on the roster until being scrapped in 1970. This was a Polaroid photo by Jim O'Dell photo. This is one of the first, if not the very first, Polaroid photo I have ever posted. I left it in the sepia color as it seemed appropriate for the photo.

LN E6A #753 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #753 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Pulling a very short string of mismatched passenger cars is this EMD E6A unit built in July of 1942 as LN #453A. It has been repainted in the light gray & yellow scheme applied beginning in 1962. The unit lasted until being scrapped in 1970. No location was listed - does anyone recognize this spot? It could possibly be Chicago, Luisville or even Indianapolis but not sure. John H. Kuehl photo

LN E6A #770 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN E6A #770 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  One of 2 L&N E6A's that survived the scrap yards, it became part of the Kentucky RR Museum in July of 1968 and now is housed in New Haven, KY. The unit was originally LN #450B and wears the 1962 paint scheme of light gray and yellow. Unfortunately, I believe it has deteriorated significantly from this photo.
