NOUPT |
| Description: |
The water pouring out of the nose of Louisville & Nashville E7A 791 showed that the boiler water tanks were full as the unit was being serviced from the opposite side at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine facility. L&N E6 and E7 units which had been modified with enlarged boiler water capacity – 2,050 gallons instead on 1,050 – had nose-mounted water filler openings such as this. On the next track, NOUPT SW8 number 1 was moving a set of Illinois Central power which included E6A 4003. (approximate date of photo) |

Southern 722 |
| Description: |
The first Southern Railway steam excursion train into New Orleans was the WALTER DOVE HOMECOMING SPECIAL, which arrived at Union Passenger Terminal on Sunday 28 March 1971 behind 2-8-0 722. (Mr. Dove had been the Southern’s General Road Foreman of Engines and was retiring from a 52-year career with the railroad.) The train had pulled straight into the station, so here on 30 March Mr. Bill Purdie – the Southern’s Master Mechanic-Steam – was looking down from the cab of the locomotive as NOUPT SW8 number 1 was preparing to turn it on the wye. The 722 subsequently ran a couple of excursions from New Orleans to Hattiesburg and back before heading for home on 10 April. |

NOUPT 1 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal number 1 was one of three SW8's built for NOUPT in December 1953. Number 2 was sold to Jones & Laughlin Steel in around 1960, but 1 and 3 survived long enough to receive Amtrak paint. They were sold to NASA in August 1990 and provided parts to maintain the space agency's fleet of ex-Air Force SW8's at the Kennedy Space Center. |
