Southern Railway No. 2 |
| Description: |
The fireman on Southern Railway train number 2, the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT, was leaning out of the cab of E8A 6910 to grab a set of train orders out of the train order stand at N.E. Tower in New Orleans. The stand also held orders for the train's brakeman and the conductor. Train No. 2 was nine miles and 25 minutes into its journey to New York and was powered by E8A's 6910, 6900, 6909 and 6903; a typical set of power at the time. N.E. Tower was built in 1953 as a part of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal project, but the first tower here was built in 1899 to protect the crossing of the Louisville & Nashville with the New Orleans & Northeastern. The tower was closed on 12 September 1990, when control of the crossing was transferred to the Norfolk Southern operator in Birmingham. |

| Description: |
Throughout most of the 1970's one couldn't find Southern E-units at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal during the day, because they came in in the evening and left the next morning. But when Amtrak took over the operation of the CRESCENT on 1 February 1979, it leased all of the Southern remaining E8A's and for the next six months there were always some of these around the engine house, making shots like this possible. |
