T&P Train No. 27 |
| Description: |
Texas & Pacific P-1r class 4-6-2 700 was on westbound train No. 27 – the LOUISIANA DAYLIGHT – as it left New Orleans. The train was operating over the New Orleans Public Belt behind Audubon Park, with the Mississippi River levee on the right. The locomotive had been built by Baldwin (51574) in April 1919 as P-1 class 600 but was quickly renumbered 700. In March 1940 it was upgraded with a nickel-steel boiler, roller bearings and other improvements, and reclassed P-1r. It pulled the last steam-powered T&P passenger train on 9 November 1951, was retired in February 1953, sold to the Louisiana Eastern in October 1953 and scrapped at Shiloh, Louisiana in November 1962. |

| Description: |
Texas & Pacific P-1-r class Pacific 704 was outside the Texas Pacific-Missouri Pacific Terminal Railroad of New Orleans' engine house at RACE STREET YARD. The loco had been built by Baldwin (51666) in April 1919 as T&P 604 and then almost immediately renumbered 704. It was modernized with Boxpok main drivers, roller bearings, a larger tender and other improvements in April 1944, and received running board skirts in July 1949. Half of the T&P's 22 Pacifics received blue-and-gray EAGLE paint jobs; but only two, the 704 and 706, were fitted with skirts. The engine was retired in March 1952, the engine house was razed around 1967 and Race Street Yard was removed in 1984. (approximate date of photo) |
