| Vi
kørte nordøst ud af New Orleans, over Lake Pontchartrain til Slidell.
Slidell er beliggende på NS' strækning til Birmingham, Alabama, som vi
skulle følge den næste dag. Mens vi spiste frokost i den gamle
stationsbygning kom det stallede tog fra Huey P. Long Bridge igennem
byen, på vej nordpå. Ved Slidell havde vi reserveret en sumptur så Hans Ole og Niels Jørgen kunne se den lokale natur. Turen nu noget begrænset i udbytte, men et par alligatorer blev det da til. |
We
headed northeast out of town, across Lake Pontchartrain to
Slidell LA. Slidell is situated on the NS line to Birmingham AL that we
were to follow the next day. While we were having lunch in the former
depot, the stalled train from the Huey P. Long Bridge came through town
headed north. Near Slidell we had reserved a swamp tour for Hans Ole and Niels Jørgen to see some local wildlife. The tour didn't give a whole lot of sightings but we did see a few alligators. |
