CN C44-9WL 2513 |
| Description: |
Canadian National C44-9WL 2513 was photographed at Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the railroad’s short-lived CN NORTH AMERICA paint scheme which included a gray silhouette of North America. This scheme was introduced in mid-1992, and it was used on 48 new GE units – including this one – as well as many older units; but it was discontinued in 1995. Many people thought the continent was a blemish! The CN version of this model had a 4-piece windshield, instead of the standard 2-piece design. |

Amtrak Train No. 58 |
| Description: |
When HURRICANE KATRINA struck southeast Louisiana on 29 August 2005 it extensively damaged the Canadian National (former Illinois Central) line along Lake Pontchartrain, between New Orleans and Hammond. The CN quickly set up a base of operations in Hammond, and brought in seven passenger cars to accommodate its personnel: Amtrak SUPERLINER sleepers 32058, 32015 and 32030, IC sleeper 800210, IC kitchen car MW101315, Wisconsin Central office car 800201 SUPERIOR and IC training car MW101314. E-units 100 and 101 provide power for the cars. The southern terminal for Amtrak’s CITY OF NEW ORLEANS was initially cut back to Memphis, then it was extended to Jackson and then to Hammond on 13 September. To accommodate this service, the train ran with a locomotive on each end between Jackson and Hammond. In this view, eight days before service was restored out of New Orleans, the northbound CITY was accelerating away from the Hammond depot behind P42 number 91. |

IC 6071 on Grain Train |
| Description: |
Illinois Central SD40R 6071, seen here on a southbound grain train at Hammond, Louisiana with the 6003, was a locomotive celebrity. It had been built in July 1964 as EMD 434 and was the very first locomotive to use EMD’s model 645E prime mover. The 434 and pre-production SD40 testbed units 434A-434H were built on SD35 frames, so they were five feet shorter than production SD40 units. The 434 was sold to the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio in May 1966 to replace wrecked GP35 614 and it became GM&O 950, then ICG 6071 and finally IC 6071. The Canadian National donated it to the MONTICELLO RAILWAY MUSEUM in March 2009. |
