Title:
Southern Geeps
Description:
Southern Railway GP7 8252 and GP9 6263 were on the West Tie-Up Track at the railroad's
OLIVER YARD
in New Orleans. These geeps had replaced NW2's in yard and transfer service around the New Orleans area, and were themselves replaced by new MP15DC units in 1982. The 8252 had been built in 1951 as the 2157 and was sold for scrap in 1981, at which time it was replaced here by a GP9. The empty space between the trucks - on each side of the unit - had been occupied by a pair of 400-gallon water tanks when it had a steam generator, but it still had an 800-gallon fuel tank along the centerline of the unit. GP9 6263 had been built in 1956 as Central of Georgia 164, and it was sold for scrap in 1983.
