Illinois Central SW9 442 was on a westbound (timetable north) transfer run at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION as it approached the ICG’s MAYS YARD just west of New Orleans. In the background, on the right of the train, was EAST BRIDGE TOWER, which controlled the tracks around the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge. The 442 had been built in June 1951 as IC 9442, was renumbered in 1959 and was rebuilt into ICG SW14 1481 in 1981. (approximate date of photo) |
