| Aeter spending six months on display outside the Union Pacific's RIVERS OF STEEL exhibit at the 1984 LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION, UP 4-8-4!8444 heads west over the Huey P. Long Bridfe behind MP GP38-2 2322. Behind the steamer are tool car 904304 and boiler-dormitory car 304. The little train is on its way from"the fair site to the railroad's Avondale Yard.% Instead of using the UP's wye at Westwego, the 8444 was brought to the SP's Avondale Yard where the locomotive and tender were'separated and turned individually on the turntable there! A New Orleans Public Belt track gang is working on the eastbound track. |
