| 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 |

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. |

Southern E8A 6915 |
| Description: |
After the PELICAN was discontinued in June 1968, it was very unusual to find a Southern locomotive at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal during the day; but here is E8A 6915 parked outside the diesel shop in 1976. The unit had been left in New Orleans because of some problem which had to be fixed before it could hit the road. It was wearing the THOMAS JEFFERSON decal it received for America’s bicentennial. The locomotive was built for the New Orleans & Northeastern (NO&NE), but its sublettering was change to AGS after the NO&NE was merged into the Alabama Great Southern in 1969. |

Southern No. 114 |
| Description: |
A Missouri Pacific crew had just brought this run-through train across the Huey P. Long Bridge, and a Southern yard crew has gotten on board. They would bring the train across New Orleans, where a road crew would get on and it would officially become Southern No. 114 for Birmingham. The motive power was GP35 2696, GP30's 2605 and 2595, and GP35 2657, all running backwards! |
