| Office cars weren't unusual on the end of the SOUTHERN CRESCENT, but they usually ran with their open platform on the rear! Car number 8 was running backwards on the northbound train as it approached the L&N crossing at N.E. Tower. The conductor was keeping a wary eye on the photographer from the vestibule of dome coach 1613 as he prepared to grab his train orders at the tower. The nearest track was the "new" L&N line from Gentilly Yard to the Mississippi River, built when New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal opened in 1954. |
