USL Stack Train |
| Description: |
A trio of freshly-painted Seaboard System U-Boats - U33B 5624 and U36B's 5773 and 5752 - power an eastbound United States Lines stack train towards the railroad's Gentilly Yard on the east side of New Orleans. The train originated on the Missouri Pacific in Houston as train XHOAV and is bound for Savannah, Georgia. At Gentilly Yard it will become SBD train 202. SBD - and later CSX - power usually ran all the way from Savannah to Houston and then back to New Orleans, where the locomotives would be replaced by freshly-serviced units. The train was discontinued in late 1986 after U.S. Lines entered bankruptcy. |

Eastbound (on the left) and westbound run-through trains were having a meet on the Seaboard System just west of the railroad’s Gentilly Yard in New Orleans. On the left was a trio of freshly-painted SBD U-Boats - U33B 5624 with U36B's 5773 and 5752 - on a United States Lines stack train en route from the Missouri Pacific in Houston to Savannah, Georgia. The other train – with Cotton Belt B30-7 7796, SP SD45 9107 and SD40T-2 8232 – was on its way from Gentilly to the Espee’s Avondale Yard, on the other side of the Mississippi River. |
