Southern Railway 2-8-0 722 was being service at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. This was the locomotive's first visit to New Orleans, and it was the first year for Southern steam excursions out of the city. While steam excursions operated out of New Orleans almost every year until 1985, the 722 would only return to the city one more time, for the annual convention of the National Railway Historical Society in 1973. The oval on the tender was the shadow of an overhead lamp. |
