| Southern Pacific GP35's 6631 and 6577 were tied up across the SUNSET ROUTE main line from the Baldwin depot. The two geeps were assigned to the Cypremort and Bayou Sale branch locals, and this would be the last day those branches would be operated by the Espee. Three days later -- on Monday 16 March -- the Louisiana & Delta acquired ownership of several former Espee branches, including those two. The L&D also got the Baldwin depot, but after a few years it was replaced with a modular building and moved to Patoutville, Louisiana. |
