IC Train No. 25
Title:  IC Train No. 25
Description:  At around 10 a.m. Illinois Central mail-and-express train No. 25 – the SOUTHERN EXPRESS – was pulling up to the station at Hammond Louisiana behind 4-8-2 2431. Despite its name, No. 25 was anything but an express, taking 23 hours and 10 minutes to cover the 921 miles between Chicago and New Orleans. Visible above the train’s last cars was the Hammond coal tower, from which Coal Shoot (sic) Road got its name. The wooden caboose on the right was the 9231.
