| This was a view from the cab of Southern Pacific SD45R 7409 on Seaboard System job Y104 as it headed west on the Norfolk Southern's OUTER BELT at Shrewsbury Junction (milepost 0.5). Straight ahead one-half mile was the connection with the Illinois Central Gulf at EAST BRIDGE JUNCTION, and a connection with the New Orleans Public Belt near the east end of the HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. On the right up ahead were the NS-ICG interchange tracks, and the crossing was the former Kansas City Southern main line, which ended a short distance to the right after the KCS got trackage rights over the ICG into to New Orleans the previous year. The rusty track on the right was the unused connection between the KCS and the NS, and the two tracks on the extreme right had been the KCS-NS interchange tracks. |
