Abandoned switchers |
Description: |
These two locomotives sat near LSU Med Center seemingly forever. Both rather beaten up, I assumed they were both abandoned. Tex-Trac 1878 is still sitting there decades later, rusting away. The MoPac switcher would go on to other lives, however. |

Love that looooong porch on the back end of the SD40-2. This is at the Jewela Road grade crossing, on the old Texas & Pacific line that enters Shreveport from the south. Those discolored patches at left and right reveal just how much image got cropped off in the 110mm film format! |

Abandoned on the Texas & Pacific main line |
Description: |
This line - the original Texas & Pacifc main from Shreveport to New Orleans - was built in the early 1880s and abandoned in the late 1950s. Most of the rails south of here were pulled up decades before, but the last two miles or so remained into the 1980s. Several boxcars sat abandoned on the remaining tracks, north of the Bert Kouns grade crossing. Later in 1988, the cars were removed, and the last couple of miles of track were pulled up, almost 100 years after they were first laid. |

Abandoned T&P line in west Shreveport |
Description: |
This was the original Texas & Pacific main line to New Orleans, built in the 1880s and mostly abandoned in the 1950s. It split off from the Texas & Pacific's Dallas-bound line at what is now Dean Road and the Inner Loop; on Google Maps you can still trace its route today, heading southward to Mansfield and onwards to Cypress LA, where it meets up with the old T&P "branch" line that eventually replaced it. Most traces of the line south of here are long gone, but in the late 80s the tracks still ran for a few miles south of here, and there were a handful of freight cars stored on them, just north of Bert Kouns at Gilmer Bayou. Further south around Colquitt Road, the line was blocked by a couple of derailed hopper cars that had spilled down an embankment at Boggy Bayou, which seems to be where the track removal started. The rails had just recently been removed when I shot this photo in fall of 1988. The crossing and crossbucks at Bert Kouns remained in place into the 1990s, but the cars and tracks were taken out in mid-1988. The active line curving to the right is heading out toward Reisor Yard on the citys west edge and from there onwards to Dallas. |
