SP S4 1811
Title:  SP S4 1811
Description:  Southern Pacific S4 1811 was one of two Alco switchers parked outside the railroad's office in Gretna, Louisiana. This unit had been built in 1951 as SP 1483 and it was traded-in to General Electric in 1972. Up until the opening of the Huey P. Long Bridge in December, Gretna had been on the main line of the SUNSET ROUTE, but after that it was just an industrial branch. The tall building in the background was the Jefferson Parish Court House. (approximate day and month)
