The Louisiana & Arkansas RR No. 99 is a 2-8-0 steam locomotive built in 1919 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway.
No. 99 hauled freight trains and mixed trains on the railroad's New Orleans-Shreveport–Dallas line until bought by the West Feliciana Railway of San Francisville, LA, in 1946.
The locomotive also sometimes pulled passenger trains for the Louisiana & Arkansas when its needed.
