CSX freight holds at Central |
Description: |
ith a freight on the outside bridge track and MOW on the inside, Amtrak has no place to go. The Sunset would barely get out of New Orleans UPT before holding East of Central for over an hour. Note the new and old paint schemes displayed here. Veteran 7346 looks like it has had some parts swapped out, mix and match style. |

CSX 5401 |
Description: |
Mixed freight holds with some MOW equipment short of Central Avenue. Amtrak's Sunset was over an hour late coming through here, only a mile or so outside of NOUPT due to freight congetsion and bridge work. I think the new CSX scheme is a great improvement over the last one. |

NOPB GP40's |
Description: |
This isn't the shot I wanted. I wanted a shot of the locos passing East Bridge Tower, but the Engineer yelled at me, waving some hats! And not just any hats, they were 100 year NOPB aniversary caps! Even though we were still a few month's from Mardi Gras, what the heck - "Throw me somethin' mister!" And he did. I traded the hats for the shot and I think I made the right decision. This is what I got in the aftermath. |
