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. |
