SOU 6909 |
Description: |
The northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT is about 20 minutes out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and the fireman is in position to get his orders at N.E. Tower. Back in the train, the baggage man and the conductor are prepared to do the same thing. Todal's train has green E8A's 6909 and 6912 bracketing black FP7A's 6132 and 6147. During 1974 and early 1975, various combinations of E- and FP-units were not uncommon on the train south of Atlanta. The signals protect a crossing with the L&N main line, and the track in the foregrmund was an L&N branch to the Mississippi River. |

Southern Railway TMain No. 2 |
Description: |
An hour after leaving New Orleans, Southern Railway’s northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT was pulling up to the station in Slidell, Louisiana for its first stot. The train had its usual motive power, four green E8A units, along with a couple of deadheading cars on the head end. Sleeper 2012 SALUDA RIVER wasn’t unusual; but combine 727 FORT MITCHELL was, as this may have been the only time that the 727 had been on this end of the railroad. (approximate date of photo) |

The Southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT |
Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8300 was beginning to switch train No. 1 - the southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT - in the Atlanta station by removing the locomotives which had brought the train in from Washington: E8A units 6910, 6909, 6906 and 6901. In the distance were the units which would power the train to New Orleans - the 6911, 6902 and 6913 - along with freshly-stocked diner 3869 and dome car 1613. After replacing the power, the 8300 would remove the last five cars which had come in from Washington and then add these two cars to the rear of the train. This was a regular procedure on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, when No. 1 ran all the way from Washington to New Orleans. Dome cars did not run north of Atlanta because there wasn't enough clearance in the tunnel leading into Washington Union Station. |

Southern Railway No. 2 |
Description: |
The fireman on Southern Railway train number 2, the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT, was leaning out of the cab of E8A 6910 to grab a set of train orders out of the train order stand at N.E. Tower in New Orleans. The stand also held orders for the train's brakeman and the conductor. Train No. 2 was nine miles and 25 minutes into its journey to New York and was powered by E8A's 6910, 6900, 6909 and 6903; a typical set of power at the time. N.E. Tower was built in 1953 as a part of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal project, but the first tower here was built in 1899 to protect the crossing of the Louisville & Nashville with the New Orleans & Northeastern. The tower was closed on 12 September 1990, when control of the crossing was transferred to the Norfolk Southern operator in Birmingham. |

Noses |
Description: |
Throughout most of the 1970's one couldn't find Southern E-units at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal during the day, because they came in in the evening and left the next morning. But when Amtrak took over the operation of the CRESCENT on 1 February 1979, it leased all of the Southern remaining E8A's and for the next six months there were always some of these around the engine house, making shots like this possible. |
