| This view is looking east along the New Orleans Public Belt at East Bridge Junction Tower. The east approach to the Huey P. Long Bridge is about a quarter of a mile behind the photographer. Both the tower and the NOPB tracks were built as a part of the construction of the bridge, which was opened in December 1935. Just to the right of the tower is the caboose of an eastbound SP transfer run which has just left the IC's Mays Yard and is heading for the Southern Railway's BACK BELT. On the right is an MP caboose, and in the distance are the locomotives of a westbound MP train. |
