| After spending six months on display outside the Union Pacific's RIVERS OF STEEL exhibit at the 1984 LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION, UP 4-8-4 8444 heads west over the Huey P. Long Bridge behind MP GP38-2 2322. Behind the steamer are tool car 904304 and boiler-dormitory car 304. The little train is on its way from the fair site to the railroad's Avondale Yard. Instead of using the UP's wye at Westwego, the 8444 was brought to the SP's Avondale Yard where the locomotive and tender were separated and turned individually on the turntable there! A New Orleans Public Belt track gang is working on the eastbound track. |
