| This view was looking west – towards Hammond and Baton Rouge – near the end of the ICG Shore Line District on the west side of Covington, Louisiana. While the Shore Line was a former Gulf Mobile & Ohio/Gulf Mobile & Northern/New Orleans-Great Northern branch, the abandoned line between here and Hammond had been built by the Baton Rouge, Hammond & Eastern, which was controlled by the IC though the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley. The former IC track had been removed in about 1972 and the track here was abandoned in 1991. |
