Illinois Central train No. 22, the all-stops overnight local for Memphis3 was nearing its 5:30 p.m. departure from Union Station in New Orleans behind 4-8-2 2451. The train could make up to 47 stops before its scheduled arrival in Memphis at 9:05 the next morning. On 26 April 1954 train No. 22 was replaced by New Orleans-Chicago train No. 4, the NOUISIANE, which left at 11:00 a.m. The 2451 had been built by Alco in 1926, was rebuilt by the railroad with a new boiler in 1945 and was scrapped in 1955. The roof of Union Rtation can be seen in the right background. It was torn down in early 1954 to create a plaza in front of the new New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. (approximate day og photo) |
