| The northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT is about 20 minutes out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and the fireman is in position to get his orders at N.E. Tower. Back in the train, the baggage man and the conductor are prepared to do the same thing. Today's train has green E8A's 6909 and 6912 bracketing black FP7A's 6132 and 6147. During 1974 and early 1975, various combinations of E- and FP-units were not uncommon on the train south of Atlanta. The signals protect a crossing with the L&N main line, and the track in the foreground was an L&N branch to the Mississippi River. |
