The ICG's northward Shore Line Branch local passes though Abita Springs, Louisiana -- milepost 62.7. There was once a depot here; but by this time, Abita was just the location of a 4-car siding. This train has 15 cars: four plug door box cars, one covered hopper for USS Agri-Chem, five empty pulpwood cars for Triangle Timber, and five empty gondolas for the P&W scrap yard, plus caboose 199034. It picked up one MKT 50-foot box car here in Abita Springs, and then set out the covered hopper about a mile down the track. |
