NOLR 2180 and LDRR 1501 at Gouldsboro
Title:  NOLR 2180 and LDRR 1501 at Gouldsboro
Description:  A New Orleans Lower Coast (NOLR) crew goes to work at Gouldsboro Yard to put together a grain train delivered by the Union Pacific. A good bit of switching is required to breakdown the inbound UP train and rebuild the outbound NOLR train because of the short track lengths and main line configuration in Gretna, LA. Leased L&D CF7 1501 is paired with NOLR GP7U 2180 (A.K.A. "Barney") creating a very colorful power combination.
