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.

Abandoned in a swamp in 1954, it was pulled out and was donated to the Illinois Railway Museum where it is placed on static display.
