Southern Railway Park |
| Description: |
Southern Railway steam heater car 960603 was at SOUTHERN RAILWAY PARK in New Orleans, along with executive sleeper 18 GEORGIA, business car 6 and Norfolk & Western business cars 100 and 500. The cars were here for a few days during the 1975-76 Sugar Bowl and New Year festivities. (The game took place at the Louisiana Superdome on 31 December 1975 and the Alabama CRIMSON TIDE beat the Penn State NITTANY LIONS 13–6.) The park was created behind the Southern’s office building, on Saint Louis Street at Basin Street, when the railroad’s TERMINAL STATION was closed in April 1954 and lasted about 40 years, until the line serving it was abandoned. The 960603 had been built in October 1943 as FTB 4100C and renumbered 4308 in March 1945. After being retired in 1958, it was converted into heater car HC-53, was later renumbered 960603 and went to The National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. (approximate date of photo) |
