SP Avondale Yard |
| Description: |
On 24 April 1955 elderly M-4 class Mogul 438 and T-28 Ten-Wheeler 695 were stored at Avondale Yard, just west of New Orleans, while 2-year-old F7A 373 was backing down onto train 241. The 2-6-0 had been built by Cooke in June 1900 as then 968, was renumbered 428 in 1901, then second 438 in August 1950, and was sold for scrap to Commercial Metals in Houston six months after this photo was taken. The 373 had been built in July 1953, was transferred to the Pacific Lines in November 1960 and was renumbered 6469, then it was retired in May 1968 and sold back to EMD; so the F7 was only on the roster for 15 years, while the Mogul lasted for 55! |
