Eastern Railroad Discussion > New Orleans Public Belt RailroadDate: 08/14/18 16:10 New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Author: Atomicpunk My wife and I had taken a weekend trip to New Orleans in May 2017. We were having breakfast at Cafe Du Monde and I heard a train horn. I ran over to the crossing an caught New Orleans Public Belt switching along the Mississippi Riverfront. It was the first time I had ever seen the railroad and their power. Here's a few photos from that day.
Thanks for looking! Mike Date: 08/14/18 16:39 Re: New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Author: refarkas What a sharp looking locomotive! Great catch.

The beniets (sp?) and chicory coffee were great too! Dan Posted from iPhone Date: 08/15/18 06:58 Re: New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Author: 3rdswitch Nice catch.
