Southern Crescent |
| Description: |
Three green E8A's and three black FP7's were on the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT as it made its way out of New Orleans. The train was near milepost 191, just west of the Seabrook drawbridge. The last two units had come in two days earlier on an Engineering Department special, whose cars were deadheading out behind the locoootives. The units were 6902, 6148, 6900, 6906, 6134 and 6135. |

Southern Crescent |
| Description: |
The low morning sun illuminated the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT as it sat in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, awaiting its 6:45 AM departure. The train consisted of E8A's 6902, 6910, 6908 and 6914 with 10 cars: baggage-dormitory car 706 SOUTH CAROLINA, coaches 837, 840, 819 and Amtrak 5680, sleepers 2023 WARRIOR RIVER, Amtrak 2619 PACIFIC MEADOW and 3499 ROYAL PALM, diner 3306 and dome car 1613. In less than a year, Amtrak would take over the operation of the train, and scenes like this would disappear forever. |

Southern Crescent |
| Description: |
The northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT was being inspected and service on what had once been Track 10 of Birmingham's Terminal Station, before continuing on its journey from New Orleans to New York City. Between 1909 and 1969 the vacant land on the left had been occupied by the station and most of its platforms. Today's Train No. 2 consisted of E8A's 6902, 6910, 6908 and 6914 with 10 cars: baggage-dormitory car 706 SOUTH CAROLINA, coaches 837, 840, 819 and Amtrak 5680, sleepers 2023 WARRIOR RIVER, Amtrak 2619 PACIFIC MEADOW and 3499 ROYAL PALM, diner 3306 and dome car 1613. In less than a year, Amtrak would take over the operation of the train and it would begin using the Louisville & Nashville station, so scenes like this would not last for much longer. |
