Hope you don't mind my cutting the rest of the world in on our conversation; 
it might be useful to them, especially Dherbert.  

I'm certainly not a native, but based on my two brief--too, too 
short!--visits, during which I walked from the French Quarter to the "new" 
station and back, the map seems to show that they are "relatively" close to 
the new station.  An hour seems a bit long, however it do get hot there :)  

If you have a fax I could send you a clip of the TRAINS map, which might help 
a little.

and the IC relatively close to that.  Unless one of you is from Nawlins', and 
can
be more exact,   I believe the walking time from, say, the point where the old
L&N was to where NOUPT is now, would likely be close to an hour.
