Movie Time!

On Saturday, July 14, we gathered at Mike’s house to apply the usual LASTA elbow grease to make some much-needed home repairs.

Later in the month, Listerine on Sundays, a local production, filmed at the LASTA yard for several days. This film is set to be released in early 2008.

745 and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons”

November 2006 – 745 and several of her cars made their movie debut during the filming of The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. The set was located at the old Texas & Pacific Yard (Race Street) near the banks of the Mississippi River, about two blocks upriver from the New Orleans Morial Convention.

745 had all lettering removed from her firemen’s side and replaced with a Southern Railroad “SR” logo as well as the “Southern” name. 745 was also renumbered on that side and under the headlight to “682.” The Jefferson Parlor car also had her lettering removed and was stenciled “Southern” along the side and across the rear platform top.
