| Seaboard System job Y104 was approaching the Metairie Road grade crossing on the Norfolk Southern's OUTER BELT across the New Orleans area. Just ahead is the beginning of a long passing track, with the Metairie Road team track on the left. The signal bridge was installed in 1983, when CTC was extended westward from East City Junction to this switch. The train was on its way from the SBD's GENTILLY YARD in eastern New Orleans to the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge, where a Southern Pacific crew would take over. The train was powered by SP SD45R's 7409, 7402 and 7411. The headlight in the distance was the run-through train from the SP to the NS. |
