Nebraska Central caboose 502 was on a short section of track along Belle Chasse Highway (LA 23) at Belle Chasse, Louisiana on Saturday 2 December 2000. The car was in front of the New Orleans & Gulf Coast Railroad's depot for the BIG EASY STEAM TRAIN (BEST) excursions. On this day, the BEST began operation using former Southern Pacific 2-6-0 1744, along with a small assortment of F-units and passenger cars; but service ended on 12 May 2001. Both the NCRC and the NO&GC were owned by the Rio Grande Pacific Corp., which explained the 502's appearance in far south Louisiana ! |
