SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 182
Title:  SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 182
Description:  While the 0-8-0 was a pretty common locomotive type, the Southern Pacific Lines only owned 27 of these: 15 on the SP proper and 12 on the Texas & New Orleans. T&NO 175-186 were built at the railroad's Houston Shops between 1930 and 1936, utilizing boiler sections from retired MM-1 class 2-6-6-2's 900-911. All were renumbered 850-861 in 1950, so their original numbers could be assigned to a mixture of Alco RSD5’s and Baldwin AS616's built in 1952 and '53. One common assignment in the New Orleans area was the long-distance transfer runs from AVONDALE YARD, at the west end of the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE, to the L&N and the Southern on the eastern side of the city. The 182 was photographed at ALGIERS YARD in the summer of 1950. It had been built in March 1931, was renumbered 857 on 29 September 1950 and was scrapped on 24 February 1956. (approximate date)

SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 851
Title:  SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 851
Description:  Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) SE-3 class 0-8-0 851 was at the railroad’s ALGIERS SHOPS, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. Stenciling on the cylinder and valve covers showed that it had been serviced here on 13 February 1953. The locomotive had been built at the railroad’s HOUSTON SHOPS in April 1930 as the 176 and was renumbered second 851 on 11 October 1950. It was “sold” to the SP on 26 October 1953 and renumbered 4511, and was scrapped at Sacramento on 11 October 1956. (approximate date of photo)

SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 856
Title:  SP (T&NO) 0-8-0 856
Description:  Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) SE-3 class 0-8-0 856 was on the rear of an eastbound transfer run at the railroad’s AVONDALE YARD, preparing to help the train up the 1.25% grade on the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. The transfer caboose was T&NO 60 and WEST BRIDGE TOWER can be seen in the distance near the front of the train. The 856 had been built by the SP at Houston in March 1931 as the 181, using the boiler from MM-1 class 2-6-6-2 900. It was renumbered in September 1950 and sold for scrap at Houston in October 1954.
