| After spending six months on display outside the Union Pacific's RIVERS OF STEEL exhibit at the 1984 LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION, UP 4-8-4 8444 heads west over the New Orleans Public Belt behind MP GP38-2 2322. Behind the steamer are tool car 904304 and boiler-dormitory car 304. The little train is on its way from the fair site to the railroad's Avondale Yard, and had just crossed Jefferson Highway (U.S. 90). This track was subsequently abandoned after the NOPB obtained trackage rights over a parallel IC line. |
