Anyone know the fate of former T&NO steamer 245 , which steamed around Louisiana in May? I fear the worst - please be gentle with your reply, anyone.

Perhaps you mean 745, there is no mention of its demise on LASTA’s website so I guess it survived.

Here is a hybrid of a satelite photograph and a map of TNO 745’s location.

Here is a post Katrina photograph of that area. Unfortunately the location of TNO 745 is blacked out, however, because the area north of there has, what appears to be, a few feet of water, and upright train cars, I would guess TNO 745 survived but is in a few feet of water.

Here is a topographic map of the area.

Perhaps she is OK after all - Thanks!!
