Remarks & Notes

This slide has been in my collection for many years, though I regrettably do not know the identity of the photographer. The scene is L&N’s old Canal Street station in the “Big Easy”—New Orleans. The train (powered by E7 761 and E6 756) is number 6, the northbound “Humming Bird” to Cincinnati. This post-WWII streamliner was one of two constructed by ACF for the L&N (and the NC&StL) and inaugurated in 1946 (the other train was the St. Louis-Atlanta “Georgian,” which was later shifted to a Chicago-Atlanta routing). While this image speaks of the optimism of railroad passenger service of that time, in truth, roads like the L&N were already coming to grips with the hemorrhage of patronage to other modes---particularly the private automobile. The “Bird,” however, would continue to fly until 1969, when it was finally discontinued. I was able to ride it a couple of times, and can attest it was (as was all of the L&N’s passenger service) first-rate.
