Railroad Companies in Louisiana in the late 70s?

[FCIN]

In fact a L&N RS3 worked out of Maysville, Ky until being replaced by a GP9 around 78.

Just to clear up something here, working for the L&N through the 1970's I can tell you that the power assigned to the Paris-Maysville branch was always one of the EMD re-powered ALCo S-2's, usually number 50 or 67. Most of the RS-3's were off the roster by the early 70's. Having worked at both Paris and Maysville a couple of times in the 70's, the train would run to Maysville, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, returning to Paris on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. When TTIS took over the branch in 1979, they first leased L&N 67 for power until they purchased the three former MP EMD re-engined RS-3's. Track speed on the Maysville Branch was 10 mph through this period and for some time after TTIS took over and began to rebuild the line.
