| Description: |
In 1951-52 the Louisville & Nashville constructed a shoo-fly at Franklin Avenue in New Orleans, about midway between NO&NE Tower (milepost 802.7) and N.O.T.

L&N Train No. 7 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville local Number 7 has just passed through Gentilly Yard (milepost 800.4) and crossed the Industrial Canal drawbridge (milepost 801.4). The train was scheduled into New Orleans at 3:45 P.M., after a 12-hour trip from Montgomery, Alabama. It was established in 1946 and discontinued in September 1953. The switch in the foreground was the connection with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio, at the north end of the GM&O's Canal Yard.The train was powered by K-5 class 4-6-2 245. This was one of six light Pacifics (240-245) assigned to the L&N by the United States Railroad Administration during the First World War. These were built by Alco-Richmond in 1919, after the end of the War. After the USRA was abolished, the railroad got 20 more K-5's: Baldwin built eight (264-271) in 1923 and Alco-Brooks constructed 12 (272-283) in 1924. The 245 was retired on 22 June 1954.

At around 10 a.m. Illinois Central mail-and-express train No. 25 – the SOUTHERN EXPRESS – was pulling up to the station at Hammond Louisiana behind 4-8-2 2431.

After having set off its through freight at GENTILLY YARD, Louisville & Nashville J-3 class Mikado 1514 leads an auxiliary water car, a box car, and a caboose southbound across Canal Street. The box car is probably LCL (less-than-carload freight) consigned to Acme Fast Freight. After Work War II – and lasting into the early diesel era – it was common for freight trains to leave most of their cars at GENTILLY, and then bring their LCL and perishable cars all the way to JULIA STREET YARD. The vehicles on the right are waiting to board the Mississippi River ferry to the suburb of Algiers. (approximate date of photo) |

| Description: |
Just before 7AM Texas & Pacific 4-6-2 712 was leading train 22 - the eastbound LOUISIANA EAGLE - over the New Orleans Public Belt near Jackson Avenue in New Orleans, as the train neared the end of its overnight trip from Fort Worth. The 712 had been built by Alco's Brooks Works in 1919 as a class P-1-a loco, and was upgraded with roller bearings, a larger tender and other improvements into a class P-1ar in 1936. The track on this side of the train was the NOPB switching lead, and next to it was a wharf track which served transit sheds along the Mississippi River. On the other side of the train were the NOPB's westbound main and two Illinois Central tracks, along with Tchoupitoulas Street. (approximate month and day) |

L&N 4-6-2 152 |
| Description: |
On New Years Day 1952 Louisville & Nashville K-2A Pacific 152 was parked on the median of Elysian Fields Avenue, next to the French Quarter, where it was providing steam for occupied Pullman cars. Back in the days before New Orleans had an abundance of hotel rooms, sleeping cars were regularly used to accommodate visitors who were here for major events such as the Sugar Bowl and Mardi Gras.By this time in its career, the 152 was usually assigned to the Pensacola Division, and it had been towed in from Mobile because it did not have Automatic Train Stop equipment for use on the line into New Orleans. The locomotive was built by Rogers in 1905 and was the L&N's third Pacific. It was donated to the Kentucky Railway Museum in 1957 and is the only preserved L&N Pacific. |

| Description: |
There were no less than four New Orleans Public Service Inc. streetcars in this view at the foot of Canal Street, which was then the city's main thoroughfare. This was the end of the line, where the cars turned and awaited their next run.

The turret on the other side of the walkway was on the L&N station and the roof next to it was the L&N trainshed. The opening scene of the 1951 movie A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, where Blanche DuBois gets off of a train, was filmed at this station. (approximate month and day) |
