| This was the view from the rear of the southbound AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN as it crossed one of the Illinois Central Gulf's two trestles over the Bonnet Carre Floodway west of New Orleans. This was on the Baton Rouge District (former Yazoo & Mississippi Valley line) between mileposts 429.5 and 432.3. The Mississippi River was off to the left, while the KCS trestle, U.S. 61 bridge, ICG McComb District trestle, I-10 bridge and Lake Pontchartrain are off to the right. |
