Lambert Junction (1) |
| Description: |
This was LAMBERT JUNCTION in suburban New Orleans, where the New Orleans Public Belt - on its way west to the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE - curved across the Illinois Central Gulf line from STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD west to MAYS YARD. On the far side of that building under construction, the KCS line from their WEST YARD to the NOPB crossed the ICG. Notice helium car MHAX 1120 in the industry on the right. Since the late 1990's there has only been one ICG/CN track here. |

Lambert Junction (2) |
| Description: |
This was LAMBERT JUNCTION in suburban New Orleans, where the New Orleans Public Belt - on the right - crossed the Illinois Central Gulf in the foreground. Right on the other side of that new building, by that silver relay box - a single Kansas City Southern track also crossed the ICG. The only thing left here since the late 1990's has been on ICG (CN) track and a connection with the KCS. |

Westbound UP |
| Description: |
Four yellow SD40-2's - Missouri Pacific 3259 and 3294, Union Pacific 3254, and MP 3113 - were pulling a westbound 66-car train up the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. The photo was taken from the Mississippi River levee, as the low afternoon sun reflected off of the train's fourth unit. |

Southport (1) |
| Description: |
In the foreground was the last remnants of the Illinois Central Gulf's little SOUTHPORT YARD, while on the right was the railroad's line from STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD - off to the right - to MAYS YARD. The signal protected the end of the ICG's double track here. |

Southport (3) |
| Description: |
This view facing north at Jefferson Highway (U.S. 90) grade crossing in suburban New Orleans shows the north end of the Illinois Central Gulf's double track, which ran from here through STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD and ended at LEVEE YARD. The switch on the right served an unused siding, while the track on the immediate left was once the north end of SOUTHPORT YARD. The track turned back to the left (west) just on the other side of Jefferson Highway. |
