GLSR Excursion |
| Description: |
Passengers and crew members of this northbound Gloster Southern excursion train had their photo taken behind former Illinois Central Gulf caboose 199452 during the lunch stop at Ethel, Louisiana. The trip ran from the north end of the railroad at Gloster, Mississippi -- site of a Georgia Pacific plywood mill and the reason for the railroad's existence -- south to the ICG connection at Slaughter, Louisiana and back again, and was operated on behalf of the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The gentleman with the gray hat, green jacket and clipboard to the right of the caboose was Russell Tedder of GP, who made the trip possible. GP stopped operating the railroad when the mill closed, and it was subsequently sold to V&S Railway, LLC of Salt Lake City and dismantled. |
