Louisville & Nashville K-5 Pacific 280 was pulling out of the railroad’s Canal Street Station in New Orleans with a short northbound train at. The train was noteworthy because it had a combine in front of its baggage car. The 280 was a USRA design light 4-6-2 and was one of a dozen K-5's (272-283) built by Alco-Brooks in 1924. It was one of the last Pacifics built for the L&N and one of the last to be retired, on 23 April 1954. (approximate date of photo) |
