SP 4449
Title:  SP 4449
Description:  The 1984 LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION took place along the Mississippi River in New Orleans between 12 May and 11 November. During the fair, the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the NRHS sponsored an excursion from Portland to New Orleans and back using former SP GS-4 class 4-8-4 4449. The WORLD’S FAIR DAYLIGHT arrived at the fair on Saturday 2 June, and then most of the train was moved to New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal; but the 4449, water car PNWC 4219 and combine PNWC 3300 MILN D. GILLESPIE were parked on the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad at the fair, as shown here, until Friday 8 June.

In this view, monorail train No. 3 had just passed over the locomotive. The fair monorail system had been built by Universal Mobility Inc. of Salt Lake City and was auctioned off at the fair’s bankruptcy sale in 1985… along with just about everything else. The bridge in the background was opened in April 1958, while the uncompleted bridge in the foreground wasn’t opened until September 1988. (approximate date of photo)

Daylight and Green Diamond
Title:  Daylight and Green Diamond
Description:  We're standing along the parallel Illinois Central Gulf and New Orleans Public Belt tracks near Jefferson Avenue, where the two main lines of each railroad cross. ICG GP10 8114, SD20 2024 and GP40 3031 are heading away from us, going to Mays Yard after delivering intermodal train No. 55 to the railroad's IMX (InterModal eXchange) at Nashville Ave. and the Mississippi River. Espee 4449 is sitting on the New Orleans Public Belt westbound main track, after having spent a week on display at the 1984 Louisiana World's Fair. Earlier this morning an NOPB switch engine had moved it from the fair site to here, and it is waiting for an ICG switch engine to accompany it to New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The Daylight and its matched set of cars left for home in Portland, Oregon the next morning. Daylight engineer Doyle McCormack has placed the number "5" in the locomotive's train numbers boxes. Number 5 was the westbound ARGONAUT, the secondary train between New Orleans and Los Angeles.

Crescent and Daylight
Title:  Crescent and Daylight
Description:  For many years its was Amtrak's practice to add cars to the northbound CRESCENT and removed them from the southbound train at Atlanta, resulting in a much smaller consist at New Orleans. This was a continuation of the Southern Railway's procedure with the SOUTHERN CRESCENT. During the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, Amtrak ran almost all of the train -- except for the extra mail cars -- all the way into New Orleans to accomodate fair goers. While attendence at the Fair fell well below the projected estimate, and train ridership never met expextations; during this time the CRESCENT was a very impressive train!

It's 6:45 P.M. at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal and the early evening sun was reflecting off of the nose of F40 260 as it and the 262 had just backed in on track 5 with a 17-car train. The train's consist was baggage car 1172 SILVER TREASURE, baggage-dormitory car 1624, coaches 4733, 4737, 4637, 4711, 4639, and 4018, Amfleet lounge 28020, diner 8519, 10-6 sleepers 2436 PACIFIC CREST, 2438 PACIFIC CASTLE and un-named 2903, un-named 11-double-bedroom car 2233, lounge 3109, and coaches 4716 and 4702.

Across the platform on track 6 is the WORLD'S FAIR DAYLIGHT, which would depart for Oregon the next morning. The DAYLIGHT had GS-4 4-8-4 4449, water car PNWC 4219, combine PNWC 3300 MILN D. GILLESPIE, sleeper-lounge PNWC 600 MT. HOOD, coaches SW 542 SONOMA, SW 544 MENDOCINO, SW 546 HUMBOLDT, SW 507 SHASTA, SW 511 STANISLAUS, PAR 2397, SW 500 SAN JOAQUIN, SW 518 TUOLUMNE, and GW 598 RED RIVER, diner SW 156 LAKE PEPIN and observation-lounge GS 1290 APPEKUNNY MOUNTAIN. (GW was Great Western Tours, GS was Grant Supply, PAR was Pacific Railroad Society, PNWC was Pacific Northwest Chapter-NRHS, and SW was Sierra Western.)

The DAYLIGHT had arrived in New Orleans the previous Saturday, and SP 4449 had spent the week parked outside the Fair site. UP 4-8-4 8444 was on display inside the Fair, so for a week there were two big Northern's at the Fair. That's the photographer's Volkswagen RABBIT on the left.

Title:  SP 4449 Worlds Fair Daylight entering San Luis Obispo
Description:  Southern Pacific "Worlds Fair Daylight" is arriving at San Luis Obispo, CA from the south. It will layover there that night. Photo location is north of Orcutt Rd. very near Morrison St. All those people standing on the other track have placed coins on the rails. A number of people have been killed over the years doing exactly what they are doing - standing ON a track when another train comes by as they focus on their coins.
