| Onlookers were watching the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN as it left Reserve, Louisiana and a few of these folks were looking for souvenir pennies that had been squashed by the train! The AFT was on the Illinois Central Gulf en route from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and had stopped here to pick up journalists, most of whom had ridden up from New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on a bus. The locomotive was ICG GP8 7702 and the smokestacks belonged to the Godchaux sugar refinery which closed in 1985. |
