Two Trains |
| Description: |
About a mile west of Abita Springs, at Schoen Road, the ICG Shore Line District served two customers. USS Agri-Chem, on the right, received limestone and agricultural chemicals in box cars and covered hoppers, and was served by northward trains. Triangle Timber, behind me and on the opposite side of the main line, shipped pulpwood and was worked in the other direction.Finding more than one train on the branch was really unusual, and was usually the result of a work train on the line. This view facing east from Schoen Road was taken on a Thursday afternoon, a normal day for the northward local, whose locomotive is in the siding. The 8308, along with GP30 2269, had arrived here the previous afternoon with 23 empty hopper cars and caboose 199318. The train had been dumping ballast along the line and the crew parked their train here, where they were picked up by a company car and returned home to Bogalusa.Earlier this afternoon the regular northward local -- with GP10 8183 -- pulled up behind the ballast train and coupled to its caboose. The company station wagon, which had come down from Bogalusa to bring the crew back home, brought the crew here to get on the 8308. They pulled the combined train forward, set out the local's engine on the siding, then shoved the combined train back on the main line until everything looked like this. The crew finished whatever they were doing when they returned from Bogalusa on Friday morning to complete their northward trip and then take the train back home. Eleven years later, the branch was abandoned. |

ICG GP10 8202 |
| Description: |
CG GP10 8202 was about to cross Hoffman Road -- between Mandeville and Abita Springs, Louisiana -- on the now-abandoned ex-GM&O Shore Line Branch. The train was the twice-wjekly local from Bogalusa to Covington. In the background was former Illinois Central 1-compartment/1-drawing-room / 3-double-bedroom / tavern / lounge car GENERAL JACKSON, built by Pullman-Standard in Apvil 1942 for the PANAMA LIMITED. It and baggage car 755 were someone's vacation home. The former railroad right-of-way is now the Tammany Trace trail, while the cars were eventually purchased by Iowa Pacific Holdings and moved to Colorado. |

| Description: |
The ICG's northward Shore Line Branch local passes though Abita Springs, Louisiana -- milepost 62.7. There was once a depot here; but by this time, Abita was just the location of a 4-car siding. This train has 15 cars: four plug door box cars, one covered hopper for USS Agri-Chem, five empty pulpwood cars for Triangle Timber, and five empty gondolas for the P&W scrap yard, plus caboose 199034. It picked up one MKT 50-foot box car here in Abita Springs, and then set out the covered hopper about a mile down the track. |

| Description: |
Illnois Cenral Gulf GP10 8216, SD40 6056 and U33C 5058 were on a southbound grain train crossing the bridge across Pass Manchac, Louisiana. The new concrete structure was completed in 1972 and replaced the wooden trestle next to it. The train will have to reverse direction in Kenner, just west of MAYS YARD, to get to one of the grain elevators along the Mississippi River, so it has a caboose on each end. The 199510 is behind the engines and the 199596 is on the rear. |

Grain Train |
| Description: |
An interesting assortment of locomotives lead a southbound grain train across Pass Manchac, about 40 miles north of New Orleans. When this photo was taken, grain trains usually ran with a caboose on each end, as the power had to run around the train in Kenner before heading up the former Y&MV line to the elevators along the Mississippi River. |

The track in the foreground was originally the west leg of the East Louisiana Railroad wye. By this time, it was just a siding that served Marsolan Feed & Seed, a regular customer of the railroad; and was occasionally used as a team track. |

Bogue Falaya Crossing |
| Description: |
ICG GP10 8237 crosses the Bogue Falaya with the northward Shore Line District local. The interesting bridge girder was built by the Edgemoor Iron Works of Wilmington, Delaware in 1888, when the East Louisiana Railroad constructed this line into Covington. The trestle shows evidence of the upgrading received by the entire branch in 1980; but despite this investment, the line was abandoned just ten years after this photo was taken. |

Jefferson Avenue Interlocking |
| Description: |
For most of the twentieth century, the double track lines of the IC/ICG and the New Orleans Public Belt ran side-by-side along the Mississippi River from Lambert Junction in Jefferson Parish to Race Street Junction, a distance of 7.4 miles. For most of the way, the NOPB tracks were on the riverside of the IC/ICG; but between Jefferson Avenue Interlocking and Harmony Street Interlocking, two miles, the roads swapped positions. Here is ICG southbound piggyback train P-55 crossing over the NOPB at Jefferson Avenue, about a mile from its destination at the railroad's intermodal ramp at Stuyvesant Docks Yard. Today's train has an especially eclectic mixture of power: GP10 8249, GP11 8734 and SD20 2001. The freight cars on the left are in the NOPB's Cotton Warehouse Yard. |

Shore Line Local |
| Description: |
The southward ICG Shore Line District local is parked on the main line in the P&W Industries scrap yard, just north of the former Covington depot. After the train arrived in Covington and did all of its switching, it would usually tie-up here, ready to depart for Bogalusa the next morning. By the time the crew parked their train, a railroad station wagon would be waiting to bring them back to Bogalusa; and the following morning, they would return to Covington and take the train back to Bogalusa. The local's locomotive had to use the wye at the end of the line to run around its train; so if the local arrived with its engine running long-hood forward, it would depart this way too. |

An Odd Couple |
| Description: |
Missouri Pacific GP7 1761 was teamed up with Illinois Central Gulf GP10 8291 on a westbound MP transfer run near the east end of the Huey P. Long Bridge. In the early 1980's ICG GP10's would occasionally show up on MP transfer runs and yard jobs in the New Orleans area, but this combination of power was not very common. MP 1761 was retired six months after this photo was taken. |

ICG 8310 |
| Description: |
A southward ICG Shore Line District local rolls east through the heart of old Mandeville. This town is located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, directly north of New Orleans. The depot had been located just across the track from the phone box on the left, but it had burned down a few years earlier. Railroad passenger service ended here in 1939, when the Gulf Mobile & Northern replaced its motorcars with buses.The silo on the right was used by Prestressed Concrete Products Co. to transload bulk concrete from covered hopper cars into trucks for movement to their nearby plant. A prestressed concrete manufactuing plant had been established at Mandeville in 1954 as a joint venture by the contractors building the 24-mile Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The bridge was completed in 1956 and Prestressed Concrete Products Co. was incorporated the following year. The plant closed shortly after this photo was taken.Although the Shore Line local usually ran with one locomotive, during the reconstruction of the branch which took place throughout 1980 it occasionally had an additional unit to handle hoppers cars of ballast; although ballast was also moved in solid trains. This train has GP10 8310, GP8 7724, 33 cars and caboose 199034. Its consist is one loaded GM&O hopper, three loaded IC pulpwood cars, 26 empty ICG hoppers, two empty Southern insulated box cars, and one SCL gondola of scrap. |

ICG GP10 8461 |
| Description: |
This unit was one of only a few Paducah-rebuilt geeps with a genuine EMD slanting low nose. The 8461 had been built as IC GP9 9305, and its frame number was confirmed as 5553-6. It was rebuilt as orange-and-white GP10 8461 in March 1977, with a standard ICG flat-top nose; but this was damaged in an accident at Bluford, Illinois in early 1979. The 8461 was repaired with an EMD low nose, probably from IC GP18 9423, and received the current orange-and-gray paint job and a new rebuild date of December 1979. |
