Re: (rshsdepot) New Orleans, LA

["Verne and Joan Brummel" <jmb_@_msn.com>]

If I remember right, the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal opened in 1954
to replace several older stations, including the IC, L&N, MP/T&P, Southern
and KCS/L&A stations. I've been told that all of the older stations were
torn down in the 1950's. I've seen photos of all but the KCS/L&A station,
and all were unique, and impressive in their own way. As far as the old IC
station, I believe it was one of the first to go, torn down in 1954 or 1955.
