| This view is facing west on the north side of the IC's former Southport Tower. The auto is parked on the former right-of-way of what had been the IC's inbound main line into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal until it was removed around 1969. The tower was built in 1912 by the Louisiana Railway & Navigation Co., a predecessor of the KCS, to control several crossings with the IC. It closed on 27 October 1996, after being condemned by the Federal Railroad Administration; and was razed on 13-14 August 1997. |
