Title:
Southern PELICAN
Description:
Southern Railway train No. 41, the southbound
PELICAN
, was about five miles from its destination at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. No. 41 was at milepost 4 on the railroad's New Orleans Terminal Co. subsidiary near East City Junction. It had a typical consist which reflected the nature of the train: F3A 6704, an F7A, five mail and express cars, the MERIDIAN & NEW ORLEANS Railway Post Office, and two coaches. The mail was removed from the train in late 1967 and it was discontinued in June 1968. I took this photo with a plastic Kodak
STARMETER
camera when I was 12, which explains the poor quality of the shot. It would be another nine years before I bought my first 35mm SLR; but by that time almost all of the passenger trains I grew up with were gone (: (approximate day)
