It is my understanding that the equipment in Baton Rouge has started the move process, with I believe the IC business car, Southern Coach and IC RPO now in Hammond Louisiana. It is my understanding the IC diner will be transported on rail to the Monticello RR Museum, while the IC steam locomotive will be staying the old depot in downtown Baton Rouge.

The Southern coach, IC business car and RPO are being placed on panel tracks at a location to be incorporated into a new children's museum / hospital or something of the sort.

I am unsure of what the plans are for the IC steam engine is ( # 333 ) however that will be the only remaining piece of equipment at the old Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad station in downtown Baton Rouge.
