L&N Station |
| Description: |
This view was looking westward along the Louisville & Nashville at Milton, Florida. L&N passenger service ended here in 1971 and the station was closed in 1973. It was subsequently purchased by the Santa Rosa Historical Society, and is now the West Florida Railroad Museum. Amtrak's SUNSET LIMITED operated through here from 1993 until 2005, but the train did not stop in Milton. (approximate date) |

ICG Milepost N64.4 |
| Description: |
This was the former Gulf Mobile & Ohio station at Rio, Louisiana. This was along the Illinois Central Gulf's BOGALUSA DISTRICT seven miles south of Bogalusa and 55 miles from New Orleans. There never was much at Rio, but up until 1980 it was the junction where the 40-mile BOGUE CHITTO DISTRICT from Tylertown, Mississippi connected with the main line to New Orleans. The main line, in the foreground, was previously the NEW ORLEANS DISTRICT of the GM&O's LOUISIANA SUBDIVISION, and was abandoned by the IC in 1994. |

ICG Engine House |
| Description: |
Illinois Central Gulf GP8 7705 was sticking out of the railroad's recently-constructed engine house at Bogalusa, which replaced a former GM&O loco shed at this same location. The former Bogalusa depot was on the other side of the geep, and the former freight house was behind the sand tower. A few years later, the railroad replaced this engine house with a new one south of here, at South Yard. |

Former GM&O Depot |
| Description: |
This was the New Orleans-Great Northern's passenger depot in Bogalusa, Louisiana. It also housed the railroad's dispatchers, and was subsequently used by the Gulf Mobile & Northern, Gulf Mobile & Ohio and the Illinois Central Gulf. The ICG stopped using it shortly after the 1972 merger, and it was placed on the Nation Register of Historic Places in 1980. The building on the left was the freight house. |

L&N Station |
| Description: |
This building was opened as the Louisville & Nashville passenger station at Mobile, Alabama in 1955, and a few years later the Mobile Division officers, dispatchers and other personnel moved in on the second floor. This building was just across the tracks from the previous station and division headquarters, which had been right along Mobile Bay. The last L&N passenger train stopped here on the morning of 1 May 1971, the day Amtrak began operating most of the country's passenger trains. There was no passenger service here for several years, but Amtrak subsequently used the station for the GULF COAST LIMITED, GULF BREEZE and SUNSET LIMITED. The L&N became a part of the Seaboard System in December 1982, and after CSX was formed in 1986 the railroad began transferring employees elsewhere. By the time Hurricane Katrina flooded the building in August 2005 only a few railroad employees were still occupying it. The building was subsequently condemned by the City of Mobile and razed. |

Depot |
| Description: |
For many years, Tucumcari was an important junction between the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island. The SP from El Paso connected with the CRI&P line to Kansas City and Chicago to form the Giolden State Route, and the Rock Island also had a second line that ran east through Amarillo to Memphis which it called the Choctaw Route. Up until 1962, the SP had a branch that ran northwest from here to Dawson, NM. |

Illinois Central Gulf |
| Description: |
The AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN was passing an Illinois Central caboose and a pair of new Illinois Central Gulf GP38-2s as it pulled away from its brief stop in Reserve, Louisiana. The train was on its way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, and had stopped to pick up some journalists. The engine in the distance was ICG GP8 7702 and the smokestacks belonged to the Godchaux sugar refinery, which operated from 1917 until 1985. |

Onlookers were watching the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN as it left Reserve, Louisiana and a few of these folks were looking for souvenir pennies that had been squashed by the train! The AFT was on the Illinois Central Gulf en route from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and had stopped here to pick up journalists, most of whom had ridden up from New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on a bus. The locomotive was ICG GP8 7702 and the smokestacks belonged to the Godchaux sugar refinery which closed in 1985. |

Espee Depot |
| Description: |
The architecture of the depot at Morgan City was unique among Southern Pacific stations in south Louisiana. Although regular Amtrak trains never stopped here, this was an active train order office until a portable building was moved here in May 1982, and it was razed the next month. The metal addition at the far end of the building was used by the railroad's trucking subsidiary. |

Southern Railway No. 193 |
| Description: |
A group of railfans were watching the cabooses of Southern Railway train No. 193 roll across the Richburg Road grade crossing atop of Richburg Hill. This is at the top of a six-mile climb out of the Leaf River valley in Hattiesburg, with a maximum grade of .75 percent. From the grade crossing, the line is on a steadily descending grade for the next six miles towards Purvis, so the train was moving along quite nicely by the time the cabooses passed here. No. 193 was the run-through train with the Southern Pacific between Birmingham and Houston via New Orleans. |

This is what the locomotive servincing area looked like behind the Southern Pacific's depot at Baldwin, Louisiana. A pair of engines were kept here to work the Cypremort and Bayou Sale Branch locals. Around 1980 this track was removed and the area cleaned up. After that, the local power was parked on a track across from the depot and serviced elsewhere. |

ICG-CRI&P Crossing |
| Description: |
This was the crossing of the Illinois Central Gulf line from Meridian to Shreveport -- now the KCS MERIDIAN SPEEDWAY -- with the Rock Island line from Little Rock to Alexandria and Eunice, Louisiana. As a result of its bankruptcy, the Rock Island stopped running trains on 31 March 1980. ICG Mississippi Division Shreveport District Bulletin Number 57, dated 8 October 1981, stated that at 12:01 P.M. on that date the approach and home signals controlling this crossing would be de-activated because of the removal of the crossing. |

Rock Island Frieght House |
| Description: |
The Rock Island train order office and freight house in Ruston, Louisiana was located at 301 West Alabama Avenue. The Rock Island ended all operations on 31 March 1980, but the line from Ruston north to Eldorado, Arkansas was acquired by the South Central Arkansas Railroad (SCK) in May 1982. In late 1983, the East Camden & Highland succeeded the SCK as operator of the line between Lillie, Louisiana and El Dorado, and the track between Lillie and Ruston was abandoned. This building became a branch of the Community Trust Bank in 1990. |
