Bridges |
| Description: |
Just east of the depot at Schriever, Louisiana the main line of the SUNSET ROUTE crosses over Bayou Terrebonne and under Louisiana Highway 20. The bayou bridge and overhead signal were destroyed on 7 February 1984, when four locomotives and 50 cars on eastbound train HOSBY-HOSOY derailed here. The southbound lanes of the highway bridge ended up on top of the train's second car. Rail service was restored in three days by replacing the bayou bridge with three large culverts. Fixing the highway bridge took a little longer! |

ICG Track (1) |
| Description: |
For many years Wanilla, Mississippi was the crossing between the New Orleans-Great Northern/Gulf Mobile & Northern/Gulf Mobile & Ohio running north-to-south between Jackson, Mississippi and Slidell, Louisiana, and the Mississippi Central running east-west between Hattiesburg and Natchez. In 1967 the Mississippi Central became a part of the Illinois Central and five years later the GM&O merged with the IC to form the ICG, bringing both of the lines through Wanilla under the same ownership. This is a view from the crossing of the former Mississippi Central tool house. |

Eastbound Sunset |
| Description: |
The eastbound SUNSET passes through the Berwick Bay lift bridge behind P30CH units 704 and 703. The big vertical lift span was installed in 1971 and eliminated the use of a swing span near the Berwick end of the bridge, partially visible on the left. The new centrally-located channel opening greatly reduced the frequency of vessels hitting the bridge. |

Eastbound Sunset |
| Description: |
The eastbound SUNSET rolls off of the Espee's Berwick Bay bridge and into Morgan City with P30CH's 704 and 703 and seven cars. At one time fishing boats would have filled the docks here; but by this time, almost all of these had been replaced with offshore support vessels such as the SUGAR PLUM and its sisters. A railroad siding once ran along Berwick Bay in the open area on the left. |

Former MKT Depot |
| Description: |
This was the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas depot at Elk City in northwest Oklahoma. This was on a 305-mile line that had run from Whicita Falls up into the Panhandle to a connection with the Beaver Meade & Englewood at Forgan, and it had been abandoned through here in 1973. One block to the left was the former Rock Island depot, which was being used by Farmrail. This was on the Rock's line between Memphis and Tucumcari. |

Hotel Ponder |
| Description: |
The HOTEL PONDER was built in the small town of Amite, Louisiana in 1947, just down Central Avenue from the Illinois Central depot. Amite is the seat of Tangipahoa Parish, which probably explained the need for such an imposing structure in a town of this size. As of 2006 the hotel is still in business, so you can get a room overlooking the main line of the Canadian National; but you won't see nearly as many train as you could when the hotel opened! |

| Description: |
This was a view of the Wax Lake Outlet bridge on the Southern Pacific’s SUNSET ROUTE near milepost 91, about 11 miles west of Morgan City, Louisiana. This 13-mile channel - also known as the Calumet Cut – was completed in 1942 to provide an additional outlet from the Atchafalaya Basin to the Gulf of Mexico, and this photo was taken during unusually high water. The railroad bridge consists of three 400-foot thru riveted truss spans, with a 70-foot deck plate girder at each end. |

Seaboard System Building |
| 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. |

UP/KCS |
| Description: |
This track is a branch of the Union Pacific (former Texas & Pacific), but it is also the main line of the Kansas City Southern. In 1940 the Louisiana & Arkansas obtained trackage rights over this T&P branch between Torras and Lobdell so that it could use the new Mississippi River bridge at Baton Rouge and abandon its ferry service between Torras and Angola. The pulpwood car is L&A 3299, built in April 1939. |

Wax Lake Outlet |
| Description: |
This was a view looking north along the Wax Lake Outlet, from the Southern Pacific and U.S. Highway 90 bridges towards the Atchafalaya Basin in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The other structures in the photos were aerial pipeline crossings. The 13-mile channel - also known as the Calumet Cut – was completed in 1942 to provide an additional outlet from the Atchafalaya Basin to the Gulf of Mexico. The railroad bridge consists of three 400-foot thru riveted truss spans, with a 70-foot deck plate girder at each end. It is located on the SUNSET ROUTE near milepost 91, about 11 miles west of Morgan City, Louisiana. |
