This view was looking west -- towards Hammond and Baton Rouge -- from the very end of the ICG Shore Line District. While the Shore Line was a former Gulf Mobile & Ohio/Gulf Mobile & Northern/New Orleans-Great Northern branch, the abandoned line here had been built by the Baton Rouge, Hammond & Eastern, which was controlled by the IC though the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley. The track had been removed about eight years earlier; but the remains of a small bridge were left behind as a reminder of what once was here.
