MP Meet
Title:  MP Meet
Description:  Shortly before they were discontinued on 11 March 1965, the Missouri Pacific’s eastbound (on the left) and westbound ORLEANEANS met at Eunice, Louisiana. These were the day trains between New Orleans and Houston, and should have met at Elton, 20 miles west of here; so the westbound train was running about 45 minutes late. By this time there was no longer any food service available on these trains, but passengers could order box lunches from the conductor. The track in the foreground was the Rock Island’s line from Eunice to Alexandria, and was its connection with the Southern Pacific off to the right. Up until 1943 Eunice was also served by a branch of the Texas & Pacific. (approximate date of photo)

MP Train No. 51
Title:  MP Train No. 51
Description:  Missouri Pacific (Gulf Coast Lines) train No. 51, the westbound ORLEANEAN, was crossing the intersection of Railroad Avenue (US 69-96-287) and College Street (US 90) in Beaumont, Texas, on its way from New Orleans to Houston. The train had just left the Kansas City Southern station, passed GCL JUNCTION and was about to enter home rails.

GCL trains operated over 46.5 miles of the KCS between CS JUNCTION in DeQuincy, Louisiana and GCL JUNCTION here in Beaumont. At GCL JUNCTION, the KCS main line to Port Arthur headed south while the connection to the MP headed west. These trains also used 89.5 miles of trackage rights over the Illinois Central, between SOUTHPORT JUNCTION in New Orleans and MP JUNCTION in Baton Rouge. Trackage rights represented over one-third of the 368.4 mile-trip between New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal and Union Station in Houston. The KCS NW2 on the right was switching some customers.
