Noses
Title:  Noses
Description:  Throughout most of the 1970's one couldn't find Southern E-units at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal during the day, because they came in in the evening and left the next morning. But when Amtrak took over the operation of the CRESCENT on 1 February 1979, it leased all of the Southern remaining E8A's and for the next six months there were always some of these around the engine house, making shots like this possible.

The 6914 originally carried NO&NE sublettering and now displayed AGS, reflecting the fact that the NO&NE had been merged into the AGS on 31 January 1969. (approximate date of photo)

The special consisted of E8A’s 6914, 6915 and 6913 with 15 cars: coach 842, office cars 9 and 2, coaches 819, 818 and 3789, coach-lounge 952, dining cars 3309 and 3869, coach-lounge 955, coaches 846, 3788, 816 and 823, and theater car 19 BUENA VISTA. The train had come in the previous Thursday evening, along with a 20-car train from Washington; but the Washington train had left at 11:30 the previous evening so its passengers could be at work on Monday morning. Notice the end door on Southern boxcar 40201. The photo was taken from the former Orleans Ave. grade crossing, near New Orleans Terminal Co. milepost 4.
