SP Mk-5 745 |
| Description: |
Former Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans ) Mk-5 Mikado 745 was heading out of the New Orleans area at Central Avenue on its first break-in run. Although the trip began in the Kansas City Southern’s WEST YARD and turned on the KCS at Reserve, Louisiana, here the little train was on the Canadian National-Illinois Central. Since 1985 the KCS has had trackage rights over this line between here at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION and Frellsen. The 745 and ex-Southern Railway caboose X-511 were owned by the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust and operated by the Louisiana Steam Train Association. |

SP (T&NO) Mk-5 745 |
| Description: |
Former Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) Mikado 745 and its 4-car exhibit train were heading west on the BNSF (former SP) at Baldwin, Louisiana. The train had just crossed the Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal (M.P. 104.1) on the first day of its tour around Louisiana and part of Mississippi. When this drawbridge was built in 1941 the main line of the Southern Pacific was double-tracked between Bayou Sale (milepost 95.6) and Cade, Louisiana (M.P. 132.1). The second track was removed in the early 1950's, and this bridge now provides the only evidence that there was once double track along this line. The train was owned by the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust and had been restored by the Louisiana Steam Train Association. |
