On December 8, 2024 another historic event occurred on the Louisiana Central Railroad. The first trains have rolled across newly laid trackage, the first mainline construction on the road since the Great Flood of 2016.  This trackage is located in an alcove of the room and it connects the towns of Whitcomb and Oneida.. At right one can see the very western edge of the town of Whitcomb, while on the left the town of Oneida lies just a half dozen feet beyond the view. That switch visible on the left is the connection of a line of the Spencer Lumber Company. The SLC suffered the washout loss of their trestle spanning a river a few years ago. Soon after that the SLC managed to gain trackage rights over a short section of the LC that spans that river. You can see the SLC line diverging, going downgrade through the curve, and then passing beneath the LC at right, where it continues its journey into the woods.
