Eastbound down the Huey Long Bridge, this was probably the 209 Job that went to the Southern Railway's Oliver Yard. The second unit was one of 20 Espee GP9's built with a low nose. |

SP-L&N Transfer Run |
| Description: |
A transfer run from the Southern Pacific’s AVONDALE YARD to the Louisville & Nashville’s GENTILLY YARD was at Louisa Street on the east side of New Orleans as it approached the L&N yard. The train was powered by L&N GP30 1043, SP C630 units 3140, 3146 and 3142, SP GP9R 3341 and L&N GP40 3004. Those big Alcos disappeared from here about a year later and went into storage, then were sold for scrap in 1979. |

| Title: |
Sep 1977 "North Hollywood Sabatoge" vicitm in the Bone Yard |
| Description: |
The Bull Ring's sad lines of locos sit ready for the torch. While most are Alcos, early U-Boats and a DD35, there is also a wrecked Crud, #2463, the victim of foul play by two teenage boys a year earlier, who had sabatoged the unit, purposely derailing it and two cars on the Burbank Branch on September 19, 1977. Four trainmen were injured in the incident, two seriously. The SW1500 did not run again. In fact, as far as I know, no engine in this image ever did run again after I took this shot. |
