| This was the view from the cab of Louisville & Nashville Train 99 – the combined southbound PAN-AMERICAN and GULF WIND – as it met L&N Train 6 – the northbound HUMMING BIRD. The trains were on the Southern Railway at milepost N.O.T. 4 near EAST CITY JUNCTION in New Orleans. No. 6 had E7A units 761 and 780 with 8 cars and was due out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal at 8:15 AM, while No. 99 had E6A 770 and E7A 792 with 10 cars and was due into NOUPT at 9:20. The photo was taken at 8:31, so both trains were on time, as No. 99 had 50 minutes of padding in its schedule for the last seven miles of its trip, between the L&N-SOU connection at L&N JUNCTION and NOUPT. |
