IC |
| Description: |
Back when the MAIN LINE of MID-AMERICA was double-tracked between Jackson, Mississippi and New Orleans, this was the view looking north from the station at Brookhaven. Amtrak's actual "station" was the little enclosure on the left, while the white sign on the other side of the grade crossing read "FOR SALE by ILLINOIS CENTRAL" and provided contact information. |

MidSouth Yard |
| Description: |
This was a view from the north end of MidSouth Rail's BALLGROUND YARD near the Mississippi community of that name. The yard was built by the Illinois Central c. 1967 to serve a new International Paper mill just to the south. This was on a 29-mile line opened between Valley and Redwood Junction in 1967 as the REDWOOD DISTRICT and was the last major line constructed by the IC. Most of the district was abandoned in 1975, but the southern end remained in place to service the paper mill. |

IP Mill |
| Description: |
This was International Paper's REDWOOD MILL at Ballground, Mississippi. Prior to the mill's opening in 1967 the Illinois Central built a 29-mile line between Valley and Redwood Junction just to serve it. It was the last major line construction by the IC, but most of the line was abandoned in 1975 because of poor foundation conditions. When this photo was taken, the plant was served by MidSouth Rail. |
