Greg Slaton	General	This was the East New Orleans, LA Amtrak stop, located at Crowder Rd and the tracks(behind the fruit stand). Station cost about $100,000 to build(paid for by World's Fair), designed by the late architect/rail advocate Charles Apffel. Stop was only used for the original GCL, 4/84-1/85.	3/24/2010 10:52:07 AM

Earl Hampton	General	I think it is still there, but in terrible disrepair due to lack of use and Katrina.	3/24/2010 11:36:45 AM
