AMTK 205 and 7 With Tr. #20 (NB Crescent) on Lake Pontchartrain Editors Pick! Contributor's Pick!       
This is the Norfolk Southern's (ex-SOU) 5-mile long trestle off of which Katrina washed the tracks. NS fished them out of the Lake and was running again in a few days. There is a lift bridge near the north end of the trestle just out of the picture behind the train. Map at: http://railfan44.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=992957 #20 is on-time about 35 miles from NOUPT. Note the Heritage Fleet Diner mid-train. I hope it looks better on the inside.

Dave Abeles General Off which Katrina washed the tracks - AND the prestressed concrete trough! NS fished those out, too. That's a hell of a job by NS and their contractors. 1/3/2008 1:19:04 PM
