IC GP10 8033 leads the twice-weekly Shore Line District local along West 27th Street in Covington, near the end of its 65-mile trip from Bogalusa. It was also near the end of the line for this branch. The track was abandoned in 1991 and this area doesn't look anything like this anymore! Today's train had six cars: bulkhead flats TOE 4085 and 4037 with building material for Poole Lumber Co., insulated box car (RBL) MRS 2091 with beer for Champagne Beverage Co., and empty pulpwood cars IC 1472, GM&O 4028 and GM&O 3615. The caboose was ICG 199320, the regular car on this run, built in January 1976. |
