| A northbound Southern Railway excursion train, on its way from New Orleans to Hattiesburg and back, was making a photo run-by at McNeil, Mississippi. McNeil is between Poplarville and Picayune, and there isn’t much there ? The train consisted of FP7s 6141 and 6147 with 12 cars: ex-NYC sleeper-lounge LAUREL STREAM owned by N.O. Chapter-NRHS, SOU 2352 sleeper-lounge CRESCENT MOON, combine 726, lightweight coaches 842 and 843, heavyweight commissary car 4061, heavyweight coaches 1067, 3659, 1068, 1081 and 1086, and heavyweight open car 1056 LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. These trips were usually steam powered, but Mikado 4501 was out of service that year. |
