Former Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans ) Mk-5 Mikado 745 was heading out of the New Orleans area at Central Avenue on its first break-in run. Although the trip began in the Kansas City Southern’s WEST YARD and turned on the KCS at Reserve, Louisiana, here the little train was on the Canadian National-Illinois Central. Since 1985 the KCS has had trackage rights over this line between here at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION and Frellsen. The 745 and ex-Southern Railway caboose X-511 were owned by the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust and operated by the Louisiana Steam Train Association. |
