Southern Train No. 65         
Southern Railway caboose X660 was on the rear of southbound local No. 65 as the train began its 5½-mile trip across Lake Pontchartrain. GP38 2820 and the caboose had left OLIVER YARD in New Orleans earlier this morning on local No. 64, worked their way up to Picayune, Mississippi; and were now heading back home. No. 65 consisted of two company-service gondolas, an empty bulkhead flatcar and two Southern roof-hatch boxcars with clay for the American-Standard plumbing fixture plant five miles north of OLIVER YARD.
