Missouri Pacific |
| Description: |
This tiny office and portable building provided the accomodations at the Missouri Pacific yard in New Iberia. The MP received permission from the ICC to abandon this branch on 21 July 1982, the last MP train left New Iberia for the mainline connection at Port Barre on the afternoon of 27 August, and all MP operations here ceased at 5 P.M. on 28 August. This yard and a few miles of track were acquired by the Espee, and now belong to the Louisiana & Delta. Thats a sugar mill across the street. |

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. |
