CG GP10 8202 was about to cross Hoffman Road -- between Mandeville and Abita Springs, Louisiana -- on the now-abandoned ex-GM&O Shore Line Branch. The train was the twice-weekly local from Bogalusa to Covington. In the background was former Illinois Central 1-compartment/1-drawing-room / 3-double-bedroom / tavern / lounge car GENERAL JACKSON, built by Pullman-Standard in April 1942 for the PANAMA LIMITED. It and baggage car 755 were someone's vacation home. The former railroad right-of-way is now the Tammany Trace trail, while the cars were eventually purchased by Iowa Pacific Holdings and moved to Colorado. |
