MP 2-8-2 1301         
Missouri Pacific Lines MK-63 class 2-8-2 1301 and a water car were parked outside of the Texas Pacific-Missouri Pacific Terminal Railroad of New Orleans engine house at RACE STREET YARD in New Orleans. TPMPT tank cars X0406 and 407 were on the right. The 1301 was the first of 25 genuine USRA light Mikados which had been sent to the railroad late 1919, and all but two (1316, 1317) were built by Lima. It was retired at North Little Rock in September 1953. (approximate date of photo)
