Railroads around New Orleans, LA

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr.  Text, photos, and captions are his.

Finally caught a baby-Belle in Gulfport, MS on the way into New Orleans.  Getting access to tracks anywhere in New Orleans is very difficult...chain-link fences topped with concertina wire seem to grow and multiply over night. Did get some access in the Gentilly area and caught a UP powered train heading to the CSX yard. And hit two Belles on the way out of town in Shrewsbury section. Finally a fairly new Ferromex trailing at the big UP yard in Livonia, LA.

KCS 2954 at Gulfport, MS


UP 5123 and train at Gentilly, LA 


KCS 4100 at Shrewsbury, LA
