SP SD40T-2 8544
Title:  SP SD40T-2 8544
Description:  Three-month-old Southern Pacific SD40T-2 units 8544 and 8567 were parked at the Illinois Central Gulf’s MAYS YARD, just west of New Orleans, with two ICG geeps and a switch engine. It was not very common to find SP locomotives on the ICG. (approximate date of photo)
