Espee
Title:  Espee
Description:  This view shows most of the Espee's buildings in New Iberia. The little structures in the foreground are the ice shed and scale house, with depot and freight house behind them. The box car is on a track that once ran down Railroad Street about four blocks to Bayou Teche. The tracks in the foreground had been the caboose track and engine tie-up track for the locals and switch engines that were based here, but those jobs had been abolished or moved to Lafayette.

L&N Warehouse
Title:  L&N Warehouse
Description:  The sign across the end of this building indentifies it as the LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE RAILROAD COMPANY INBOUND L.C.L. WAREHOUSE. It was located on Julia Street, between Delta Street (on the near side) and South Water Street. The track in the foreground once ran up Julia Street as far as Magazine, with branches on Fulton and Commerce streets.

Up until the opening of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal in 1954, the area bordered by Girod Street on the north, the Mississippi River on the west, Calliope Street on the south and Delta Street on the east was full of L&N improvements, including the Julia Street freight yard, engine house, turntable, passenger car servicing facilities, and warehouses like this and the one in the background.

The L&N's presence in this area began to decline after the opening of NOUPT, with the removal of the roundhouse and passenger servicing facilities; although train crews continued to go on duty here for the transfer runs to and from the L&N's big yard at Gentilly. By the time of this photo, these two warehouses and a scale house were all that remained. This area was redeveloped for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, and this site is now a part of the ERNEST N. MORIAL CONVENTION CENTER.
