After the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN ran from Jackson, Mississippi to Baton Rouge over the Illinois Central Gulf, it pulled into the ICG’s NORTH BATON ROUGE YARD. In this view, the 4449 (and its tool car) had run around the train and was about to couple on to the last car so it could pull the train backwards to its display site. The Louisiana state capital building is the tall building on the left. |

KCS 799 leading train #55 |
Description: |
A KCS trio of a GP40-2, F7(A) Slug, and GP40, drag a freight across Essen Lane on their way from Shreveport to New Orleans. The train is either a #53 or #55(most likely) on the the "New Orleans Sub" of the "Louisiana & Arkansas Division" for the KCS. Train 55 usually had chemical empties returning to Baton Rouge. It also carried piggybacks. (53 ran the same route, but to Family Lines' Gentilly Yard) KCS 799 was part of a two unit order delivered August 1979, making it five years old in this shot. |
