ICG Levee Yard
Title:  ICG Levee Yard
Description:  This is the abandoned scale house and ladder track at the Illinois Central Gulf's LEVEE YARD. The track crosses S. Front Street and then turns to the left, continuing down St. Joseph Street for several blocks. At one time, the track ran down St. Joseph all the way to the IC's Union Station. The tall building on the left is located across the street from New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal and the site of the former IC depot.

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.
