SeaTrain facility under construction |
| Description: |
From Mike Palmieri: This facility was built by the Overseas Railway Corp. in 1928 to load railroad cars onto a ship -- the S.S. SEATRAIN -- for movement to Havana, Cuba. It was located on the west bank of the Mississippi River downstream from New Orleans; and was served by the New Orleans & Lower Coast Railroad, a subsidiary of the Missouri Pacific. Overseas Railway Corp. became Seatrain Lines, and service was expanded to New Jersey in 1932. Service to Cuba ended around 1960 and to New Jersey in 1964. The facility was finally scrapped at the beginning of the twenty-first century, although the trestle and concrete foundation remain. |

TP ferry Gouldsboro 1938. |
| Description: |
Texas & Pacific rail ferry SS Gouldsboro operated in New Orleans, connecting their station at Annunciation and Race streets with their rail terminus on the west back at Gouldsboro yard in Algiers. For 60 years, from 1882 until 1942, the Texas & Pacific relied on ferries to carry freight and passengers between Algiers on the west bank of the Mississippi River and New Orleans. The Gouldsboro was originally built as an ironclad Union gunboat called the Chickasaw, which fought at the battle of Mobile Bay. After the war it was rebuilt as a car ferry and placed in service by the New Orleans Pacific (later the T&P) in February 1882. |
