| This was the crossing of the Illinois Central Gulf line from Meridian to Shreveport -- now the KCS MERIDIAN SPEEDWAY -- with the Rock Island line from Little Rock to Alexandria and Eunice, Louisiana. As a result of its bankruptcy, the Rock Island stopped running trains on 31 March 1980. ICG Mississippi Division Shreveport District Bulletin Number 57, dated 8 October 1981, stated that at 12:01 P.M. on that date the approach and home signals controlling this crossing would be de-activated because of the removal of the crossing. |
