This was a view looking west above the Gulf-Intracoastal Waterway at Morgan City Louisiana. The main line of the Southern Pacific's SUNSET ROUTE ran diagonally across the photo in a straight line, while old U.S. Highway 90 crossed the track in the middle of the image. The large multi-span bridge in the upper left was the Highway 90 bridge over Berwick Bay. |
