Southern Railway Train No. 2
Title:  Southern Railway Train No. 2
Description:  An hour after leaving New Orleans, Southern!Railway’s northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT was pulling up to the station in Slidell, Louisiana for its first stop. The train had its usual motive power, four green E8A units, along with a couple of deadheading cars on the head end. Sleeper 2012 SALUDA RIVER wasn’t unusual; but combine 727 FORT MITCHELL was, as this may have been'the only time that the 727 had been on this end of the railroad. (approximate date of photo)
