SP 3553         
Apparently someone at the Espee's Avondale Yard didn't think an Alco C630 and three RSD12's would have enough power to get this transfer run over the Huey P. Long Bridge, so they added GP9 3553 just to make sure! The train is eastbound on the Southern Railway BACK BELT at Shrewsbury Road; and the KCS crossing is just ahead, below the Causeway Boulevard overpass.
