    Pretty cool photo! Is that an E-9?
  • SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
    worldsfair39 Thanks for your interest! Missouri Pacific Locomotive 41 was built by EMD in the early 1950s as an E8A - same time period that production of the E9s started.

    Ah, I was close! ;) Love the long look of the E8s and E9s. ;-)

    Such a great photo of a location that was very rarely photographed. This is taken at Red River St between 3rd and 4th, looking East. The train is coming from the street running on 3rd St , over to the street running on 4th. The boxcar is on a small siding at 4th that extended a bit to the West. Between the boxcar and the passenger car, you can make out the white bridge railing over Waller Creek. Here's a Sanborn Map from 1935 that shows this area very well: texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth575186/m1/1/zoom/?...

[Missouri Pacific, Diesel Electric Freight Locomotive No. 389]

    #389 is an Alco FA-2 freight diesel.....unusual to see it here on the point of a passenger train
  • SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
    Roger Bee Thank you for your interest! You are correct, it is a freight train, not a passenger train. We've made the appropriate changes and updated our records accordingly to reflect this information. Thank you again for your help in this matter, we always appreciate constructive input from our viewers!

    This is NOT a freight train. The car behind the engines is an express car, the rest are baggage and coach cars. It was not that rare for a freight locomotive to pull a passenger train, especially at Laredo where MP's locomotives were under harsh weather conditions (extreme heat). In other words, whatever was available often had to be utilized.
