It's 6:42 on a Thursday evening and the eastbound GULF COAST LIMITED is being passed up by the rush-hour traffic on Interstate 10. Today's train is much longer than the typical 3- or 4-car consist, because of a special group that came in today or which has made reservations for tomorrow. Train No. 24 is on the NOUPT Eastern Connection, descending from the Metairie Road overpass, and is just beginning its trip to Mobile. Notice the blue 1984 Louisiana World Exposition signs on the right. The train was introduced shortly before the Fair opened and was discontinued shortly after the Fair closed. |
