Southern Crescent |
| Description: |
The low morning sun illuminated the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT as a rolled by the former location of Carrollton Avenue Station on its way out of New Orleans. Today's train had FIVE E-units - 6908, 6902, 6907, 6912 and 6916 - and 11 cars. Five units were very unusual, but would occasionally show up on a northbound train if a unit from a previous trip had been left in town for some attention at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal diesel shop. The tracks in the foreground were the remnants of a Kansas City Southern yard. |

AFT 4-8-4 4449 |
| Description: |
Shortly after dawn on Thursday 13 May 1976 American Freedom Train 4-8-4 4449 and tool car PNWX 76 were heading north out of New Orleans on the Illinois Central Gulf in Kenner, Louisiana. The Freedom Train had run from New Orleans to Mobile over the Louisville & Nashville the previous Monday behind a pair of L&N geeps, because the railroad would not allow the 4449 to operate over some of the bridges along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so the engine and tool car ran alone until they eventually caught up with their train. |

IC SW1R 13 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central SW1R 13 was parked at MAYS YARD, just west of New Orleans. The locomotive had been built in June 1946 as IC 9027, and was renumbered 612 in October 1953. The railroad extensively rebuilt the locomotive in October 1968, replacing its 6-cylinder 600-horsepower prime mover with an 8-cylinder 1,000-horsepower one, and renumbered it 13. Its new hood extended all the way to its front steps, but it still had the space between its battery box and its rear steps. The 13 was to be the prototype for the rebuilding of the IC's entire fleet of SW1's, which would have been renumbered 1-17; but it was the only one done. Despite its unique status it remained on the railroad for 20 years. It spent its later life in New Orleans, and was retired in 1988 |

CRESCENT QUEEN (2) |
| Description: |
This car was built by Budd in June 1949 as New York Central 5-double-bedroom / buffet / lounge / observation car BONNIE BROOK. It was one of four such cars built for use on the NEW ENGLAND STATES and the OHIO STATE LIMITED. NYC added the number 10561 in 1952 and this was changed to 10670 in July 1958. It was retired in March 1964 and has gone through several owners including Jim Jones who named it the EDNA 1, then to J. Fred Corriher as JFC 100 CRESCENT QUEEN, and then to the NRHS-New Orleans Chapter who restored its original name. Here it was as JFC 100 at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, with NOUPT SW8 number 1 down the track and Amtrak 9401 STARLIGHT DOME over on the PANAMA LIMITED. |

Southern E8A 6915 |
| Description: |
On Monday 23 August 1976 Southern Railway E8A 6915 was the fourth of four units backing into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal to couple onto the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT when it and the third unit derailed on a switch. After a delay to rerail the locomotives, the train eventually left with three units, and the 6915 was brought to the diesel shop for an inspection, where it was photographed the next day. This was the very last E-unit built for the Southern. |
