The low morning sun illuminated the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT as a rolled by the former location of Carrollton Avenue Station on its way out of New Orleans. Today's train had FIVE E-units - 6908, 6902, 6907, 6912 and 6916 - and 11 cars. Five units were very unusual, but would occasionally show up on a northbound train if a unit from a previous trip had been left in town for some attention at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal diesel shop. The tracks in the foreground were the remnants of a Kansas City Southern yard. |
