LAMCO         
LAMCO SD10's 315 and 316 were photographed in the ICG's Stuyvesant Docks Yard, located along the Mississippi River in New Orleans. The locos were on their way from the ICG's shop in Paducah, Kentucky to the Liberian-American-Swedish Mining Co. in Liberia; and would be loaded on a ship here in New Orleans. The 315 was built as UP SD7 781, and was later UP 456. The 316 was originally UP 782 and then UP 457. The placards attached to the handrails provided the units' weight and shipping instructions.
