LN E6A #773 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Looking very worn out, this EMD E6A unit was built in June of 1942 as L&N #453B a the paired set. No date was given but from the appearance, it woulld seem to be late 1950's or even eraly 1960 as the L&N were repainting the units in drab black for freight and dark blue for passenger service - a cost cutting measure but ugly. The unit was one of the last to be scrapped in 1971. No date was given for the photo. Don Dover photo |

LN E6A #775 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Looking very sleek and stylish in the original EMD paint scheme, this EMD E6A unit sits proudly in a New Orleans yard. Built in July of 1942 as LN #455B in the original paired coupling, it was renumbered and eventually repainted before the final scrapping in 1968. Although no actual photographer was listed, the photo is from the Louis A. Marre collection. |

L&N E6A 775 |
| Description: |
In the early 1950’s the Louisville & Nashville’s shop in Mobile accented the trucks on passenger units with aluminum paint. As an example, here was recently-repainted E6A 775 on train 34, the northbound PIEDMONT, at the New Orleans station. The locomotive had been built as the 455B in June 1945, was renumbered in 1946 and was retired in July 1967. |

L&N No. 34 |
| Description: |
Louisville & Nashville train 34 – the northbound PIEDMONT – was preparing to leave New Orleans for New York City. The locomotives were E6A units 776 and 756; they had recently been renumbered from 456B and 456A but were still operating as a matched pair. At the other end of the station was a pedestrian overpass which ran from the end of the Canal Street streetcar line to the Mississippi River ferry boat landing on the left. It passed over the tracks of the L&N, Southern Pacific and New Orleans Public Belt. In 1950 the station was the site of the opening scene of the move A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. |
