MP 1401-1545
Title:  MP 1401-1545
Description:  Yard slugs were never very common on the MP in the New Orleans area, but they did show up occasionally. Here is 3-month-old 1401, mated with MP15DC 1545 at AVONDALE YARD This slug was previously MP SW8 8003, and originally T&P 814; so it had spent almost all of its life in southern Louisiana!

Slug Set
Title:  Slug Set
Description:  The MP only had four SW1500's, and they spent their early years in the New Orleans area. When they were shopped and repainted in late 1981, they were also wired to operate with slugs; and three of them (1518, 1520, 1521) returned in October with brand-new slugs 1417-1419. In this view on a ready track at Avondale Yard, 1520, 1417, 1418 and 1518 wait between assignments. Their jobs included deliveries to other railroads at the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge, pushing trains over the bridge, and transfer runs across the bridge to the MP's Race Street Yard -- a 17 mile trip. A set like this could pull a very heavy train across the bridge, with its 1.25% grades; but they were VERY, VERY slow. Before long, all of the slug sets were being used individually as yard power; mostly at Avondale, but occasionally at Race Street. They left in July 1982 and never returned!

UP Y3005 - UP Y3006 cow-calf
Title:  UP Y3005 - UP Y3006 cow-calf
Description:  UP Y3005 - UP Y3006 cow-calf / power-n-slug pair way off in the distance... initially I missed them (although they appeared as small smudges in the distance on previous pictures) until finally noticing them while tracking the re-registry power move. I didnt even know they still had any functional slugs in the USA, so I felt really lucky to see this pair (off in the distance working the westbound areas).
