Southern Railway Park         
For many years the Southern Railway maintained a little park in New Orleans. It was just east (timetable north) of the railroad’s TERMINAL STATION and on the median of Basin Street, next to its office building on St. Louis Street. The park included several of these light fixtures; and when the park was removed after the station closed in 1954, the railroad put in two tracks for office cars right behind the office building and relocated several of these fixtures. The office car tracks – and the lamps – survived into the early Norfolk Southern era, but were removed when the tracks here were abandoned. (approximate date of photo)
