| The northward ICG Shore Line District local has stopped just west of Camp Villere Road, on the west side of Slidell, to set out box car BCOL 40926 at Swain Building Materials. The two covered hoppers -- SOU 96945 and 96280 -- will be dropped off at USS Agri-Chem, about a mile west of Abita Springs. The four empty pulpwood cars will go all the way to the end of the branch at Covington, and then be set out at Triangle Timber -- between Covington and Abita Springs -- on the return trip tomorrow. The local's caboose had been eliminated in September or October of the previous year. Today this track is on the remnant of the Shore Line District that is owned by Norfolk Southern, and the track ends just beyond this switch. |
