This remote controlled switcher is switching the hump. The KCS tower and office is on the right.

Backing into KCS's yard, NOPB 2002 passes over Cold Storage Road. This underpass floods often. Seeing the water up to the 4 foot level on the marker is not uncommon.

Entering KCS's yard from the wye. This local will pull forward over the hump and then back into the yard.

Crossing Oak St. with a long local consist heading for the river front.

Local headed by 152 "Mardi Gras" crosses Jefferson Hwy. (HWY 90) near South Port.

The control stand of L&N 13 has seen better days. At least it still exists!

This side of the engine does not have the engine number 13. See photo 32299 to see the other side as well as some changes. In the past 9 months the bell and horn have been added.

Impact Damage can be sseen on the conductor's side of this locomotive. The City of New Orleans passes 30 minutes after departure from New Orleans.

The yard job backs into a siding so that this local can pull through and back into the yard under the "Crescent City Connection."

These ex-UP units switch the yard under the "Crescent City Connection". Both units were built in 1968 for MKT. I wonder if no one lives in that house because of too much noise.

The paint says SMA, but the decals on the number board and cardboard coverings say PAL. This unit must have recently changed hands!

An SD70 MAC purchased new, sits at the engine house at West Yard. Can you guess what structure used to be where all the sand is?

This transfer train is just leaving the Old Metairie area where trains are not allowed to sound their horn. Only crossing gates warn of coming trains.

In the distance, the dark line across the horizon is the spillway gates used to relieve flood waters from the Mississippi River if needed. The area under the train would be under water.

Riding the southern set of tracks over the spillway, this east bound train is headed towards Destrahan and eventualy to Mays Yard in Metairie.
