Nostalgia & History > Southern 4501 and F units - near New Orleans -- Nov 85Date: 03/19/17 05:14 Southern 4501 and F units - near New Orleans -- Nov 85 Author: gcm 4501 heads north along the levee by Lake Pontchartrain on a New Orleans-Hattiesburg excursion.
A yearly ritual in November- trips were run on Saturday and Sunday. I would ride one day and chase the other. Great Southern RR trips.

I'd like to have gotten over there to catch that.

Uncle Joe Date: 03/19/17 20:23 Re: Southern 4501 and F units - near New Orleans -- Nov 85 Author: The_Chief_Way Believe the first car may have been owned by the New Orleans Chapter, NRHS. Brook series car. Not sure where it is now.
They sponsored these trips. Great memories, Gary. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/19/17 20:24 by The_Chief_Way.

NS didn't have a lot of confidence in 4501 at that time, thus the two FP7s. That territory is quite flat.

I like the dark grey graphite smokebox much better than the bright silver that was on the 4501 during its earlier excursion career.
Thanks for posting. Scott Griggs Louisville, KY |
