New Signals At Avondale Garden Road |
| Description: |
This picture shows a pair of recently installed signal stands. The more obvious one is the large cantilever signal at left, hanging over the former Texas & Pacific Railway mainlines; the less-obvious one is at right next to the former Southern Pacific Railway mainline. Barely visible in the distance, left of the closest wooden pole in the foreground, is the yard tower. UP's intermodal yard and ramp are at the right edge of the picture. |

Yard Job Parked by The Schoolhouse - Ground-level View |
| Description: |
This appears to be a yard job parked on the Drill Extension track leading into Avondale Yard. It is likely that the cars shown here will be kicked, switched, drilled, etc., into the yard tracks, or this may be an unusually long Morgan City Local train; the sand hopper cars are likely bound for one of three facilities along the Lafayette subdivision (one at Raceland, one at Boeuf, and a third in New Iberia), and the loaded pipe gondolas are likely bound for one of about five pipe yards in the area (one at Fort St. Leon in Plaquemines Parish, one in Marrero, one in Westwego, one in Boeuf, or one in Morgan City), and the large LPG tank cars may be bound for the Discovery Gas Plant in Paradís. |
