| Relco (Railway Equipment Leasing Co.) Alco S2 1048 was parked outside the company's shop along the Illinois Central Gulf on Short Street in Kenner, Louisiana. The track on the right was the original Yazoo & Mississippi Valley main line between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, but it had been replaced by a revised connection between the Illinois Central's BATON ROUGE and McCOMB DISTRICTS at Orleans Junction. This shop served Relco's customers along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and they subsequently relocated to a larger facility along the Baton Rouge District at St. Gabriel, Louisiana. |
