| Jim Selzer (with the hard hat) and Mike Palmieri were helping out on Southern 2-8-0 722 outside the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine house. The 722 and 2-8-2 4501 had arrived the day before on a special train from Alexandria, Virginia for the annual convention of the National Railway Historical Society which was being held in New Orleans, and the next day they would power the convention excursion train over the Louisville & Nashville to Pascagoula, Mississippi and back. One Monday 2 September (Labor Day) each engine powered a mini-excursion to Slidell and back, and the two engines headed back north with the convention special on Tuesday 3 September. |
