MILW 4-6-2 #171 - Milwaukee Road
Title:  MILW 4-6-2 #171 - Milwaukee Road

Title:  L&N Train No. 7
Description:  Louisville & Nashville local Number 7 has just passed through Gentilly Yard (milepost 800.4) and crossed the Industrial Canal drawbridge (milepost 801.4).

L&N Train No. 7
Title:  L&N Train No. 7
Description:  Louisville & Nashville train No. 7 was arriving in New Orleans from Montgomery behind 4-6-2 280. No. 7 was a long-distance local and usually ran with just five cars, but today’s train has at least two sleeping cars on the rear. The train was coming off of the median of Elysian Fields Avenue, crossing North Peters Street and would run along the Mississippi River until it got to the railroad’s station about a mile away. The automobile next to the pole on the left was headed for the Third District Ferry landing, and the two wharves on the right occupy the site of a former Southern Pacific train ferry landing which was abandoned when the Huey P. Long Bridge opened in December 1935. An unidentified Lykes Lines vessel is docked on the right. (approximate date of photo)

L&N Train No. 7
Title:  L&N Train No. 7
Description:  In 1951-52 the Louisville & Nashville constructed a shoo-fly at Franklin Avenue in New Orleans, about midway between NO&NE Tower (milepost 802.7) and N.O.T. Tower (milepost 803.7), so that an underpass could be built there. Southbound local No. 7 had just crossed the main line of the Southern Railway at NO&NE Tower, which can be seen in the left background, and was at the north end of the temporary trackage, passing a temporary approach signal for the New Orleans Terminal Co. crossing at N.O.T. Tower. This train was powered by K-5 class Pacific 280, built by Alco’s Brooks Works in 1924; and included a sleeping car on the rear, an unusual occurrence. New FP7 diesels officially replaced steam power on No. 7, as well as 9, 10 and 12, on 27 July 1951, the underpass was dedicated on 16 April 1952, No. 7 was discontinued in 1953 and the 280 was retired on 23 April 1954.

L&N Train No. 7
Title:  L&N Train No. 7
Description:  Louisville & Nashville K-5 class Pacific 282 was leading Number 7 along the Mississippi River at New Orleans, just a block away from the train's destination at the Canal Street Station. The tracks on the left of the train belonged to the Southern Pacific, while most of those on the other side were owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. The grade crossing under the fourth car was Conti Street and the transit shed in the center of the image was on the Bienville Street Wharf. The tall buildings in the left background, including the new construction, were the Jax Brewery. (approximate month and day)

L&N Train No. 10
Title:  L&N Train No. 10
Description:  Louisville & Nashville K-5 class 4-6-2 282 was leading train No. 10 into the curve at the intersection of North Peters Street and Elysian Fields Avenue, just a few minutes after leaving the railroad's Canal Street Station. The tracks in the right foreground belonged to the Southern Pacific, while those on the other side of the train were owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. L&N 282 was a USRA design light Pacific and was one of the last 4-6-2's built for the L&N. It was one of a dozen K-5's (272-283) built by Alco-Brooks in 1924, and was retired on 8 January 1953.

The steamship JAMES LYKES was docked on the other side of the Esplanade Avenue Wharf. For many years the Lykes Brothers Steamship Company had a major presence in the port here. The ship was a C1-B design cargo vessel launched by Bethlehem Shipbuilding at Sparrows Point, Maryland in 1940 and it was broken up at Panama City, Florida in 1972. (approximate day of photo)

RFP 4-6-2 #301 - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Title:  RFP 4-6-2 #301 - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Description:  Here is another sharp looking example a 1918 Pacific loco built by Alco-Richmond as #10. It had very tall 75" drivers and developed 200 psi of boiler pressure for its 26"x28" cylinders. The engine weight started out at 285,000 lbs. and produced a tractive effort of 42,800 lbs. but in 1926 the RF&P shops rebuilt it to increase firebox size and was renumbered to 301. As a result, it increased the weight to 319,600 lb with no appreciable change in tractive effort. The entire class was scrapped in 1950 when RF&P dieselized. The date is an approximation. Warren W.

Description:  The other overturned loco in the accident appears to be CMO #371, the newest loco there having been built by Alco-Schenectady in 1903. This helps set the date of the accident to after 1903. No photographer was listed.

MKT 4-6-2 #380 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas
Title:  MKT 4-6-2 #380 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas
Description:  Fairly nice older b&w photo (possibly a reprint) by an unknown photographer of Missouri-Kansas-Texas 4-6-2 Pacific #380 built by Alco-Schenectady in 1915. Specs - H-3a class, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 272,000 lb, tractive effort of 40,753 lb. I could not find the serial number for this loco. No date was given but with Mike Woodruff's help (see comment below), it would appear to be 1920 or earlier.
