MP 2322 Leads Operation Lifesaver Special |
| Description: |
One of the great things about train spotting in the New Orleans area was the large assortment of railroads. This five railroad assortment also carried the governor of Louisiana with the MP, ICG, KCS, SP and UP all represented on this trip. The train is headed west and coming off the Huey P. Long brdge. My friends with the MP who invited me to ride could not understand why I chose not to ride. This scene will never happen again. |

WP 3519 |
| Description: |
One of my all time favorite shots. If you look in a book about the California Zepher that is a shot taken in this same exact spot. I saw the book later on and compared the bushes and trees which were barely unchanged in the 30-40 year time difference in the photographs. Cabooses were on the headend of the train because of a large derailment at the Keddy Wye. |

FEC 445 Switching Cars |
| Description: |
This is a former FEC GP40-3 working on the A&GC in Mobile. As you can see in this image I was standing in the middle of the public street taking this picture and the yellow dot to the far left stepped in front of my car when I returned to tell me I was too close to the tracks, who was I, did I take a picture of him without his permission, even writing down my license number. What an idiot who should be paying more attention to his job and mind his business. |
