| There was nothing quite like the sound of General Electric U-boats working hard AND moving fast, as was the case here along the MAIN LINE of MID-AMERICA. Here on the north side of tiny Tangipahoa, Louisiana P30CH units 713 and 708 were chugging away and sounding great as they accelerated the northbound PANAMA LIMITED up from the community’s 45 MPH municipal speed limit to the track speed of 79. In these coming-and-going views the train was crossing Beaver Creek and the entrance to the Camp Moore Confederate Cemetery as it headed off along U.S. Highway 51. The next stop would be McComb, Mississippi. |
