ADM Growmark Grain Elevator |
| Description: |
This is one of two engines that once served the ADM Growmark elevator located in Ama, LA. The elevator also has a former Frisco high nose GP-9 that was originally in Frisco colors then years later blue replace the red and now the whole engine is gray with yellow trim. I don't know if the little engine here is still at this location. |

Ryan Walsh |
| Description: |
Another New Orleans set of switcher that are no longer around are the Ryan Walsh switchers, #1 and #2. Ryan Walsh was a bulk terminal located near the Gentilly L&N yard and handled primarily coal that was loaded onto ships for transport overseas. Note the chevrons, this is what identified one engine from the other. The engines were later painted a dark blue with yellow handrails before being retired and the terminal shutdown. |
