ICG Transfer Run |
| Description: |
Newly-rebuilt Illinois Central Gulf SW14 1445 was running behind AUDUBON PARK in New Orleans with a transfer run from MAYS YARD to STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD. The 1445 was rebuilt from NW2 1001, which had been built as the 9151 in February 1941. The loco had solid bearings, hood-mounted handrails and gray cab numbers, while all of the other SW14’s assigned to New Orleans had roller bearings, frame-mounted handrails and white cab numbers. Caboose 199523 had been built by the Darby Corp. in 1968 as IC 9523. The cupola above the caboose is on the Public Health Service Hospital on State Street. |
