NS St. Louis Street Line |
| Description: |
This view was looking south along the former Norfolk Southern ST. LOUIS STREET LINE from Jefferson Davis Parkway, shortly after this portion of the branch had been abandoned. Between 1908 and 1954 this line carried passenger trains of several railroads into and out of the Southern Railway’s TERMINAL STATION on Basin Street at Canal Street. After passenger trains moved to New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal in 1954, this line continued to serve a varied-but-declining assortment of freight customers into the late 20th century. This right-of-way is now occupied by the LAFITTE GREENWAY linear park. |

NS Compromise Joint |
| Description: |
This compromise angle bar was on the Norfolk Southern (former Southern Railway) SAINT LOUIS STREET LINE in New Orleans, near Jefferson Davis – now Norman C. Francis – Parkway. This particular bar enabled the connection of an 85-pound-per-yard American Railway Association (85A) profile rail on the left with a 100-pound American Railway Engineering Association (100RE) rail. A full set of bars for a complete joint consists of bars A-D, and this is bar B. Below the 85A lettering is the word WORN. (approximate date of photo) |
