SP 2951 and 2962
Title:  SP 2951 and 2962
Description:  Southern Pacific RSD12/DL702 locomotives 2951 and 2962 were on an eastbound transfer run operating over the Southern Railway at the Metairie Road grade crossing in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans. Twenty-one of these units were built by Alco in 1961 for mainline work in California, using components from retired RSD5’s; but all were reassigned to less-demanding yard and transfer service at Houston and New Orleans in 1967, and they remained there until the last were retired in 1977.

SP 3553
Title:  SP 3553
Description:  Apparently someone at the Espee's Avondale Yard didn't think an Alco C630 and three RSD12's would have enough power to get this transfer run over the Huey P. Long Bridge, so they added GP9 3553 just to make sure! The train is eastbound on the Southern Railway BACK BELT at Shrewsbury Road; and the KCS crossing is just ahead, below the Causeway Boulevard overpass.

An Alco Escher
Title:  An Alco Escher
Description:  This is the view on August 6, 1978 from the extremely rickety and ancient steel footbridge over the Southern Pacific's small Bull Ring Yard in downtown Los Angeles, a second-generation diesel lover's dream. In this shot there are a U50, eight U25Bs, a C628, two C630s, two S6s, an RSD12 and a C415. Although the majority of these engines were sent to the torch, two of these units still survive today, RSD12 #2954 is at the Orange Empire Railroad Museum after a stint with Metropolitan Stevedore and S6 #1272 runs in Quebec for the Asbestos & Danville as their #57.

SP RSD12 2962
Title:  SP RSD12 2962
Description:  There was only one place where Southern Pacific Alco’s mingled with Gulf Mobile & Ohio geeps – the GM&O’s CANAL YARD in New Orleans. In this view, SP RSD12/DL702 2962 was with a pair of siblings on a transfer run from their AVONDALE YARD, while GM&O GP35 604 was one of three geeps that had come in on train No. 33 and – after some switching – they would return north on No. 32. Both of these locomotives rode on the trucks of old Alcos, those under the 2962 came from an RSD5 and those under the 604 from an FA1. Scenes like this disappeared the day of the IC-GM&O merger, less than a year away. (approximate date of photo)

SP RSD12 2967
Title:  SP RSD12 2967
Description:  Espee RSD12 2967 and C630 3143 were on a short transfer run en route from the railroad's tiny Three Oaks Yard in Chalmette to its big yard at Avondale. Three Oaks Yard served the American Sugar Company's Chalmette Refinery, and this is reflected in the train's consist; the first car is a Domino Sugar tank car and most of the cars are Airslide sugar hoppers. The train is running over the Southern Railway's BACK BELT at Labarre Road.
