MP Race Street Yard |
| Description: |
Ten years before the Missouri Pacific's RACE STREET YARD in New Orleans was closed and removed, it was still busy enough for two switch engines. Here were 18-month-old SW1500 1520 and 22-year-old SW8 8000 awaiting their next assignments. |

Former T&P Units |

All of the units in this image - taken on the east side of the MP engine house at Avondale Yard - were built for the Texas & Pacific, Here are at least three of the T&P's eight SW8's, along with a pair of F7A's MP 8000-8007 were built as Texas & Pacific 811-818 in January 1952, for use as light road switchers. Notice that the 8002 still has is original oscillating headlight assembly, while this has been removed from the 8003. F7A's 857 and 908 are former T&P 1558 and 1507, and SW8 8000 is parked behind the 8002. (approximate month and day) |
