SP Train No. 2 |
| Description: |
Nearly-new Alcos 200A and 200B bring train No. 2, the eastbound SUNSET, across South Claiborne Avenue, just a couple of minutes from their destination at the Illinois Central's Union Station. On the extreme left is the PANAMA LIMITED's observation car, in the coach yard. This is a somewhat unusual photo of the SUNSET with diesel power and mostly heavyweight cars. The next year, these Alcos would be renumbered 200 and 201, and the train would be completely reequipped with new cars from the Budd Co. (approximate date of photo) |

SP Train No. 5 |
| Description: |
SP train No. 5, the westbound ARGONAUT, was preparing to depart from Union Station in New Orleans behind Alco units 202 and 203. At this time, construction was underway on New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, with the new express building going up on the other side of the 202. The two platforms here were built so that IC, SP and MP (GCL) trains could continue to operate while the old station was removed and the new station was completed. (approximate day of photo) |

SP Train No. 6 |
| Description: |
SP train No. 6, the eastbound ARGONAUT, was rolling through the Illinois Central's Government Yard and across South Claiborne Avenue on its way into Union Station. The 211 had been built a year earlier as the 205B, and was the last of the T&NO's 12 PA1's. When these units were renumbered, they also received a number on their noses. IC SW1 9027 is on the left, outside the railroad's Government Yard roundhouse. Most of the IC property here was acquired for the construction New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal and its related facilities. (approximate day of photo) |
