Model 40 |
| Description: |
Built on 29 August 1942 as U.S. Army 7953, this little loco was one of only 11 Model 40 diesel-electric switchers built by the Electro-Motive Corporation and its successor, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Built between August 1940 and April 1943, each 4-wheel unit weighed between 40 and 44 tons and was powered by two 150HP Detroit Diesel Model 6-71 truck engines. It looks like serial number 2285 spent its entire life in southeast Louisiana. Known owners included the Gulf South Warehouse Co. in New Orleans (which may have been its original assignment for the U.S. Army), American Creosote at Southport, and the Green Brothers' Coastal Sand & Gravel operation at Lacombe, where it was photographed in derelict condition. |

Louisiana Industries Boxcab |
| Description: |
Although this little locomotive was photographed at the Louisiana Industries gravel pit at Price, along the former ICG/GM&O Bogue Chitto Branch, it was still lettered for its previous owner, Celotex Corp. No. 3. The 22.5-ton locomotive was built under H.K. Porter serial number 7146 on 4 June 1929. It and its twin, serial number 7150 of 16 July, were built as Cia. Transcontinental de Petroleo Nos. 1 and 2 for use at Veracruz, Mexico. After only five years south of the border, both of the locos were repatriated to the U.S.. This was probably done in anticipation of the Mexican Government nationalizing the oil industry, which took place in 1938. The two locos were sold to the Equitable Equipment Co. in New Orleans -- a shipyard which dealt in used locomotives -- in 1936 and advertised for sale. This unit, the 7146, was sold to Celotex Corp. on 5 May 1939 for use at Marrero, LA and renumbered 3. The 7150 ended up at the South Coast Corporation's GEORGIA PLANTATION sugar refinery at Mathews, LA. Since Celotex owned South Coast, the 7150 may have been sold at the same time as the 7146. Celotex 3 remained at Marrero until being replaced by an Alco S3 in 1976 and moving here. The ICG branch serving this gravel pit had been abandoned in August 1980. |

| Description: |
Terminal Railway-Alabama State Docks MP15DC 821, MP15AC 803, MP15DC 761 and an unidentified fourth unit were parked in a small fenced-in area near the Port of Mobile. The locos were lettered T.R.R. even though the railroad's official reporting mark is TASD and it is legally a RAILWAY. |

Lone Star Plymouth |
| Description: |
This anonymous-looking Plymouth was a 25-ton 150-horsepower Model DE diesel-electric loco. It was built under serial number 4689 on 27 August 1943 for the Pratt & Whitney Division of United Aircraft at East Hartford, Connecticut. The loco was purchased by Lone Star Cement in 1946 for use at Dallas (Harrys), then Houston and then Pensacola (Olive), as shown here; before moving on to the Pensacola Division of Florida Mining & Materials. This was one of only five 25-ton Plymouth Model DE units ever built. |

GMSR Geeps |
| Description: |
Shortly after the Gulf & Mississippi Railroad began operating on 10 July 1985, two of the five geeps which wore this sharp GM&O-like paint scheme were captured on film at Artesia, Mississippi. The GMSR only lasted until 14 April 1988, when it was acquired by MidSouth Rail and renamed SouthRail. These two units subsequently received a less striking paint scheme as MSRC 1058 and 1052. (approximate date) |

GLSR Excursion |
| Description: |
Passengers and crew members of this northbound Gloster Southern excursion train had their photo taken behind former Illinois Central Gulf caboose 199452 during the lunch stop at Ethel, Louisiana. The trip ran from the north end of the railroad at Gloster, Mississippi -- site of a Georgia Pacific plywood mill and the reason for the railroad's existence -- south to the ICG connection at Slaughter, Louisiana and back again, and was operated on behalf of the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The gentleman with the gray hat, green jacket and clipboard to the right of the caboose was Russell Tedder of GP, who made the trip possible. GP stopped operating the railroad when the mill closed, and it was subsequently sold to V&S Railway, LLC of Salt Lake City and dismantled. |
