| It's 5:55 P.M. as Southern SD45's 3166, 3132, and SD40 3170 lead train No. 222 north across the Lake Pontchartrain trestle 25 miles north of New Orleans. Even though this is officially a piggyback train, the first five car are assorted "cover cars" and behind them is a large block of LPG tank cars. These tank cars originated at Toca, Louisiana -- on a Southern branch line south of New Orleans -- and regularly moved north on No. 222 throughout the 1970's. Today is a Saturday and the train doesn't have many intermodal cars. It only has 50 cars and caboose X730. |
