L&N FP7 652 |
| Description: |
A bow-wave of road grime had already dirtied the side of recently repainted Louisville & Nashville FP7 652 at GENTILLY YARD, New Orleans; but its nose was still clean! This locomotive had been built in June 1951 as the 624 and was renumbered 652 six months later. Units 650-662 were equipped with Automatic Train Stop and were used extensively between Mobile and New Orleans until the ATS was removed in 1965. The 652 was renumbered 694 in December 1966 and retired in January 1969. |

| Description: |

L&N Train No. 37 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville fireman Leo Wheeler was on the ground inspecting freshly-repainted E7A units 780 and 759 while Train 6, the northbound HUMMING BIRD, made its station stop at Pascagoula, Mississippi. Notice that the 780 has not yet gotten the red L&N emblem on its nose. Two weeks hence these engines would be involved in a collision with Freight Train 76 at the south end of Claiborne Siding. This was in Mississippi near the Louisiana state line. At 6:20 p.m. on 15 November 1963 these E-units were on No. 37, the southbound CRESCENT, and had slowed to 15 mph to meet No. 76 when they struck it as it pulled into the siding. The collision damaged or destroyed the 51st through 59th cars in No. 76's train. The E-units fared well, with only $6,000 damage to the 780 and $3,600 to the 759. No. 37’s engineer said he didn’t have enough air to stop his train. |

The 1819 was in Gentiily Yard with FA2 200, F7B 719 and FP7A 650. It was the trailing unit of the set, as it was not equipped with Automatic Train Stop for operation between New Orleans and Mobile. It was renumbered back to its original number in 1965 and retired in June 1970. |

MISS ALVA |
| Description: |
This freshly-painted and weathered car was in the Louisville & Nashville TURNTABLE TRACK at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi on 27 October 1965, while being used by Paramount Pictures in their movie THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED. The movie starred Robert Redford and Natalie Wood, and was being filmed in Bay St. Louis and New Orleans. The car was decorated as L&N 6137 (a fictitious identity) and named MISS ALVA, after Natalie Wood’s character. It had been completed by Pullman on 4 August 1911 as the Plan 2412 16-section sleeper MONTEITH and was modified into a Plan 2412A car on 15 May 1924. It was converted into Tourist Car TC 4127 on 27 February 1935 and sold to the Louisiana & Arkansas on 4 Nov 1947, where it became 64-seat coach 353, with no interior modifications. After it was retired in 1963, it went into private ownership, and was leased to Paramount for the movie. |

ATSF Box Car 142828 |
| Description: |
Santa Fe 40-foot, 50-ton box car AT&SF 142828 was on the Louisville & Nashville on 4 April 1966, spotted in the north end of the OLD SIDING at Pass Christian, Mississippi. This was one of 2,010 Bx-37 Class cars in the ATSF 141301-143310 series which had been built under Pullman-Standard Lot No. 5652 in 1941. Notice the truck nearest the camera. The car had been on a southbound fast freight when it developed a hot box in Gulfport, nine miles from here. The crew brought their four U-25B units here and swapped them out for a geep that was tied up there. Then they went back and carefully walked the car here. The truck frame collapsed just as they were moving the car into the siding. |

L&N No. 6 from No. 99 |
| Description: |
This was the view from the cab of Louisville & Nashville Train 99 – the combined southbound PAN-AMERICAN and GULF WIND – as it met L&N Train 6 – the northbound HUMMING BIRD. The trains were on the Southern Railway at milepost N.O.T. 4 near EAST CITY JUNCTION in New Orleans. No. 6 had E7A units 761 and 780 with 8 cars and was due out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal at 8:15 AM, while No. 99 had E6A 770 and E7A 792 with 10 cars and was due into NOUPT at 9:20. The photo was taken at 8:31, so both trains were on time, as No. 99 had 50 minutes of padding in its schedule for the last seven miles of its trip, between the L&N-SOU connection at L&N JUNCTION and NOUPT. |

Dispatching Office |
| Description: |
Southern Railway CRESCENT DIVISION dispatcher Guy C. Wilemon was at work in the station at Hattiesburg, Mississippi on 13 June 1982. Most of the time there was one dispatcher here and his territory included the Alabama Great Southern between Chattanooga and Meridian, and the New Orleans & Northeastern between Meridian and New Orleans, but on first trick weekdays there was additional dispatcher for the NO&NE. The CTC board covered the former AGS between Birmingham and Meridian. It had been installed at Birmingham in late 1951 when the second main track was removed between those two locations; but it was relocated to Hattiesburg around 1965 when the AGS dispatchers were relocated here. The AGS and the NO&NE became the CRESCENT DIVISION in 1968 and the NO&NE was merged into the AGS in 1969. The Norfolk Southern merged the CRESCENT DIVISION into the ALABAMA DIVISION in 1987, and the Hattiesburg dispatchers moved to Birmingham in 1989. |

Dispatching Office |
| Description: |
Southern Railway CRESCENT DIVISION Chief Bispatcher John G. Hudson was making an entry on his train sheet in the division dispatching office. The dispatching office and division headquarters were located in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi depot. The CRESCENT DIVISION consisted of the Alabama Great Southern and the New Orleans & Northeastern railroads, so this office controlled the main line between New Orleans and Chattanooga, plus a few branches. The AGS dispatchers moved here from Birmingham around 1965, and all of the dispatchers moved back to Birmingham in 1989, after the Norfolk Southern merged the CRESCENT DIVISION into the ALABAMA DIVISION in 1987. The wooden box under the microphone allowed the dispatcher to select specific microwave antennae for communicating with trains, etc. |

| Description: |
This was a view from the cab of Southern Pacific SD45R 7409 on Seaboard System job Y104 as it headed west on the Norfolk Southern's OUTER BELT at Shrewsbury Junction (milepost 0.5). Straight ahead one-half mile was the connection with the Illinois Central Gulf at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION, and a connection with the New Orleans Public Belt near the east end of the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. On the right up ahead were the NS-ICG interchange tracks, and the crossing was the former Kansas City Southern main line, which ended a short distance to the right after the KCS got trackage rights over the ICG into to New Orleans the previous year. The rusty track on the right was the unused connection between the KCS and the NS, and the two tracks on the extreme right had been the KCS-NS interchange tracks. |

Lachaussee Siding |
| Description: |
Jerome ("Jerry" as he became known on the railroad) Lachaussee is a native of Pascagoula, Mississippi, hired on with the Louisville & Nashville on June 3, 1959, as an Extra Agent-Operator. He worked at various locations between Mobile and New Orleans for the first ten years of his service. Being promoted to Train Dispatcher at Mobile on March 16, 1965, he concurrently worked in both capacities until attaining a regular position as dispatcher at Mobile in 1969. Just a few years after L&N was absorbed into CSX Transportation Company, a new centralized dispatching office was opened in Jacksonville Florida; the Mobile office became history on January 15, 1989, and Jerry and his family moved and worked there until his retirement on February 28, 2002. He and his family subsequently moved back to Mississippi. On retirement from CSX he was presented with a Seiko wrist watch. Then, three months later, he was surprised with another honor: his very own siding! Jerry and his wife Barbara were invited to a dinner in Mobile on June 10, and the next day were chauffeured north along I-65 about 100 miles where they participated in the dedication of a new 2-mile-long siding named LACHAUSSEE. The siding runs from Mile 561.7 to Mile 563.8, near the community of Owassa, between Georgiana and Evergreen. In this photo Jerry was waving to the crew of southbound piggyback train No. 145 while a local waits in the siding. |
