Found a lot of information about the Garyvile Northern. The Engine located in Ponchatoula on display was the main Engine for Garyville Northern, sadly it is near scrap condition.
A group there was telling me of efforts to preserve it which include painting the outside. It's rusting from the inside and the tinder car has holes so big that you can stand on one side and see cars passing on the street behind it. Several people from the Louisiana Steam Train Association also said they were turned away when they asked about it being donated to them to try and restore it. The last known train from the Lyons Cypress/ Garyville Northern going to the crapper and it really has little historical connection to Ponchatoula.
