| New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board 4-wheel electric locomotive No. 65 was at the city’s water treatment plant with a GM&O covered hopper. The S&WB operated an 8-block-long line down the middle of Eagle Street from the water plant to a connection with the Illinois Central and the New Orleans Public Belt next to the Mississippi River. The 65 had been built by General Electric in 1910 as serial number 1985 for the Gulfport and Mississippi Coast Traction Co. and was purchased by the NOS&WB in the 1920’s. The Water Board ended electric operations in June 1959. |
