Southern 2839 |
| Description: |
While moving the 2839 a side rod was damaged and the engine froze up on the trestle blocking the mainline. A pair of diesels were used to move the steam engine and luckily the damage was repaired for the return trip to New Orleans and the second trip the following day. |

I remember four of us physically lift a very large Goodwill Box out of the picture to get an almost clean shot of SP 4449 rounding this curve. Yes, we returned the box to its original location after the train passed. |
