New Orleans Public Belt’s AVONDALE JOB was dropping down the west side of the Huey P. Long Bridge towards the Union Pacific’s AVONDALE YARD behind SW1500 151 and SW1000 105, both of which were named CREOLE BELLE. The locomotives were accidentally given the same name when the railroad named these unit in 1999 and 2000. The locos had been built in 1971, were renumbered 1501 and 1001 in 2008, and were retired in 2020. The 1501 went to S&S Sales & Leasing as SSRX 1501, while the 1001 went to the Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad as PLLX 105. PLLX operates the Hobo Railroad and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads in New Hampshire. |
