Vi
opgav Birmingham Southern Railroad, og efter en tur rundt i området
kørte vi til området omkring Downtown, på en vejbro over NS' (venstre) og CSX'
(højre)strækninger. Det var lige ved Amtrak-stationen, og vi var heldige at
The Crescent (til New Orleans) var ved perron. Resten af den tidligere
passagerstation bruger til at omlæsse gods mellem bil og bane! I baggrunden holder et tog på NS' strækning.

We
gave up the BSRR, and after touring the area we went downtown, to
the 19th St Overpass, spanning over the NS (left) and the CSX (right) by the Amtrak
station. By sheer luck Amtrak was in town, The Crescent to New Orleans.
The rest of the former passenger facility is used to transload freight! In the background a train is sitting on the NS main.
