The cars are switched at G-P and empties picked up at Wanilla and the train heads south by 1, returning to Bogalusa about 5. The Bogalusa line is the former New Orleans & Great Northern line and was also home to GM&O's Rebels.

To the west, the line goes to Brookhaven where it connects with the CN-IC main. image/jpeg, 900x1200 (24bit) DSCF0092.jpg    176754 bytes |
