February 1, 1992. RailTex shortline New Orleans Lower Coast (NOLR) used a pair of former Illinois Central GP10s (8377 and 8375) to move grain trains delivered by the Union Pacific at Gouldsboro Yard down the Mississippi River to a grain elevator at Myrtle Grove.

There is street running on the NOLR immediately out of Gouldsboro Yard. The first few scenes are on Madison Street. 

This train has quite a few fallen flag (MP and WP) hopper cars! 

We chase the train to Belle Chasse with several runby shots!

​Date: 1995

Trains: Crew 2

Host Railroad: NOLR

Locomotives: NOLR 1237

Location: Gretna, LA to Belle Chasse, LA

I remember that paint-scheme contest! I was hoping the two GP10's would get painted in those colors. Alas they did not! This was the first railroad I worked for--before BNSF and before Amtrak. Here are some video clips I pulled together of the NOLR 1237 in action in 1995:
