Southern E8A 6915         
On Monday 23 August 1976 Southern Railway E8A 6915 was the fourth of four units backing into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal to couple onto the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT when it and the third unit derailed on a switch. After a delay to rerail the locomotives, the train eventually left with three units, and the 6915 was brought to the diesel shop for an inspection, where it was photographed the next day. This was the very last E-unit built for the Southern.
