Chris Balducci	General	Why did that pig train have two cabeese?	6/15/2010 2:26:36 PM

Michael Palmieri	General	I don't know for sure, but I can think of a couple of reasons. The railroad may have needed to get an extra caboose down here for some reason, perhaps for an extra train or to replace a bad-ordered car; or maybe the cab that was initially on the train had a probelm which prevented the crew from using it, so a replacement cab was added on without removing that first cab.	6/15/2010 2:40:07 PM

MP 4641
A trio of MoPac GE's -- B23-7 4641, U23B 4534 and B23-7 4644 -- power a westbound transfer run over the New Orleans Public Belt at the Uptown Square Shopping Center. About eight cars back are the two cabooses of ICG intermodal train No. 53, near the end of its trip from Chicago. The paved over crossing in Leake Avenue is a reminder that the shopping center was built on land once occupied by an industry that was served by rail. For over 70 years the U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co. had a plant here which distilled molasses into alcohol.
