Going to put up a few pieces of information that you other ICRR modelers and fans may find of interest. Id like to thank Art Houston, and Mike Palmeri for contributing the majority of these photos and maps. Truely without their kind assistance, my project would still be just in the dream stage. To all, I'm looking for any information on operations into and out of Poydras St. Yard, and the industries it served. Anyone having maybe old switch lists, or if schedules exist or anything of that nature, id appreciate copies if you wish to share them.

I am currently compiling data to design and build a HO switching layout of the Poydras Street Yard in New Orleans, La.. Right now I am going through some insurance maps, and aerial photographs, to establish a track plan, and really need some data on what trains went in and out, switch lists maybe if they exist, or any kind of data in this area would be of help to me. I want to set it in the time period of 1938 to 1950 ish. It really depends on how much I can learn about operations in this area. Anything would be appreciated, please email me at guymartin1956@gmail.com.
