SP MP15AC 2710 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific MP15AC 2710 -along with the 2704 - and Cotton Belt caboose 60 were in the New Orleans Public Belt's COTTON WAREHOUSE YARD. They had just arrived with a transfer run from the Espee's AVONDALE YARD on the west side of the Mississippi River, and were preparing to return with a westbound train. All of those orange box cars and intermodal cars were unwanted NOPB incentive per diem cars. In this view, the river is just off to the right, and the water tower on the right of SP 2710 was in the Illinois Central Gulf's STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD. The silos on the right were a part of the port's Public Grain Elevator, which was right along the Mississippi. |
