Here's where it
all
begins, at the mighty Mississippi River. The Texas and
Pacific Railway has a car ferry operation just down stream, and
interchanges with the Louisiana Central at Monterey. The
T&P also switches a couple riverfront industries, picking up
loads heading westward. Traffic has increased lately, as the
T&P is delivering cars to the LC for forwarding on to the
Illinois Central. The IC interchange is at Willis, and this
provides a nice little shortcut around New Orleans, saving several days
off the transit times of cars moving east-west and north. |
