Title:
L&N No. 9
Description:
On the afternoon of 18 September 1970 Louisville & Nashville train 9 – the southbound
PAN-AMERICAN
– was crossing Industrial Parkway in eastern New Orleans with E7A 793 and one coach. The reason for this unusually brief consist isn’t known, but the train was running about six hours late! Sometimes the L&N ran a train like this from Flomaton, Alabama to New Orleans if the
GULF WIND
from Jacksonville missed its connection with No. 9; but on this day, this was the only L&N passenger train into New Orleans. The 793 went back north a few hours later on No. 8, with five cars.

Title:
L&N E-Units
Description:
Up until the mid-sixties trios of Louisville & Nashville E-units showed up every day at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, on the southbound
GULF WIND - PIEDMONT - PAN AMERICAN
and the northbound
CRESCENT - PAN AMERICAN
; but by 13 October 1970 this was VERY unusual. Also, when the L&N regularly ran three E-units together, the last unit almost ALWAYS faced backwards. E7A 793 and E8A 796 were built new for the L&N; while E8A 788 was originally Frisco 2014 named
TRUXTON
, and had been purchased by the L&N in 1965. An unidentified Illinois Central E-unit was parked by the sand tower, just in off of the
PANAMA LIMITED
.
