| An impatient motorist watches as Amtrak dome-observation 9310, formerly Wabash and N&W 1601, brings up the rear of the 1977 TRANSCONTINENTAL STEAM EXCURSION as the train passes through Kenner, Louisiana on the Illinois Central Gulf. The train is running about three and a half hours late because of problems with former SP 4449, and is being powered by a pair of ICG GP10's. In a few minutes it will pause at the ICG's Mays Yard so some of its passengers can transfer to the northbound PANAMA LIMITED for their trip home. Mays Yard is about 20 minutes from the train's destination, New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Two days later the train left New Orleans over the SP for Portland. |
