L&N No. 9 (1) |
| Description: |
This was a view from the cab of Louisville & Nashville E7A 780 on train No. 9, the southbound PAN-AMERICAN, as it made its way into New Orleans. The train was running alongside Interstate Highway 10, having just passed through GENTILLY YARD and crossed the Louisa Street grade crossing. Just ahead was the Southern Railway crossing at N.E. TOWER (milepost 803.75), while No. 9’s destination at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was about 10 miles away. The train was discontinued about two years later, on 1 May 1971, with the advent of Amtrak. (approximate date of photo) |

L&N No. 9 (2) |
| Description: |
This was a view through the fireman’s windshield of Louisville & Nashville E7A 780 on train No. 9, the southbound PAN-AMERICAN, as the train prepared to back into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal at SOUTH WYE JUNCTION. On the left was Earhart Boulevard, while just ahead was the South Dupre Street grade crossing and beyond that was an Illinois Central switch engine with a cut of gondolas. The PAN-AMERICAN was the last L&N passenger train serving New Orleans and was discontinued on 1 May 1971, with the beginning of Amtrak. (approximate date of photo) |

Six-months before Amtrak ended L&N passenger service into New Orleans, a pair of E-units have just arrived at Union Passenger Terminal with the PAN-AMERICAN/GULF WIND, the railroad's only remaining passenger service here; and are heading out to the engine terminal where the crew will sign off.

L&N E7A 780 |
| Description: |
It's Saturday 1 May 1971, and at midnight Amtrak had taken over or eliminated almost all of the country's long distance passenger trains. Louisville & Nashville E7A's 779 and 780 had just brought the very last L&N passenger train into New Orleans, and were resting at the NOUPT sand tower. In a couple of hours, they would back into the station and then leave with all of the L&N's passenger cars that were still there. |
