Viewing Album:  Midsouth "Fallen Flag" Locomotives
 
By:Bryce Denny
Dates:3/8/2007 - 3/8/2007
Album Info:In March, 2007, two strings of old Midsouth locomotives were shipped on the UP to one of the NREX facilities for refurbishing and leasing. I saw the NREX technician the first day he showed up. The engines were in the KCS Junction yard near downtown Shreveport. It is a haven for passing vagrants, and sure enough, when he fired up his air compressor three vagrants bailed out of the cabs of two of the engines. I sat in the cab of one of these while they were filming a scene from the movie "The Cleaner" (the yet unreleased Samuel Jackson movie, not the Bernie Mac one).

Hollywood Hits The Train Yard
Title:  Hollywood Hits The Train Yard
Description:  MSRC 1019, with a huge floodlight used to film a scene from the not-yet-released Samuel Jackson movie "The Cleaner." There is another "Cleaner" movie out, with Bernie Mac, but this one is a different movie. This floodlight can elevate up to 135 feet. The crew setting up offered me a ride up in it to take some train pics, but I politely declined once I saw them raise it to its full height.
