| While two runners prepare to climb the Mississippi River levee seen to the right, KCS train M-CXSH (Manifest -- CSX New Orleans to Shreveport) waits on the New Orleans Public Belt Railway's "East Main" at Eagle Street. The crew on the train is an NOPB crew, and the conductor can be seen on the ground in front on the locomotive. Shortly after this picture was taken, this train's counterpart - the M-SHCX - arrived with a KCS crew, and the crews swapped trains. The building sitting atop the levee in the distance on the right is the New Orleans headquarters of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The area atop the levee here is frequently visited by runners, joggers, walkers, cyclists, and horseback riders. |
