| Southern 6908 and 6913 were two of the four E-units on the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT as the train was crossing the South Carrollton Avenue underpass. This was 2.6 miles after departing from New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and this bridge was one of about a dozen grade separations built as a part of the NOUPT project around 1950. Almost all of the underpasses had decorative concrete beams outside of the plate girders; but these had been removed here, probably after being hit by trucks. Carrollton Avenue Station was at the left end of this bridge, and you can still see one of the stairways leading down from the two platforms to the sidewalk. (approximate day) |
