FL9

I will probably move to the “M’s” next as requested, but I would be amiss if I did not take a day or so first to include a few shots of the Louisiana & Northwest’s small fleet of ex-SP F-units.  In a previous picture of a N&LG train arriving in Gibsland a pair of L&NW F7’s can be seen in the background on the left.  Here is a better view of #44 and #47 coupled up to a caboose on the south side of the shop building.

On the north side of the shop was an even better prize in the form of FP7 #49 in fairly fresh paint.  You can see where the design of the original SP paint scheme was largely carried over to the L&NW. 

Tomorrow we’ll follow the L&NW road freight north towards McNeil, Arkansas.
