Relco Shop |
| Description: |
This was the Railway Equipment Leasing Co. (Relco) shop at St. Gabriel, Louisiana; located along the Illinois Central Gulf between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The two NW2's are former Frisco/BN units waiting to be repainted for the Acadiana Railway. The first unit is still in its Frisco paint scheme and displays its BN number -- 412 -- on its number boards; but it wears a Dixie River Railroad (DXZE) emblem on its cab and is crudely lettered AKDN 101. The other unit -- former BN 403 -- wears the DXZE blue-and-white paint scheme, and would become AKDN 102. The DXZE was incorporated to acquire the former UP/MP line between McGehee, Arkansas and Vidalia, Louisiana; but it was unable to obtain the necessary financing and the sale never took place. |
