Amtrak's Crescent arrival and departure - Slidell La

December 2016. Two days after Christmas and no doubt full of holiday travelers, Amtrak's #20 -- the northbound daily Crescent -- make a station stop at Slidell, La, in thick morning fog. After an initial stop, the train re-positions for sleeper work, then departs for points north. The trailing unit was a significant smoker that morning.
