This is the north end of the former Southern Railway Oliver Yard. The yard is oriented north-south, and this view is facing northwest. The building in the middle of the photo was one of the nicest diesel shops in New Orleans, and the first to be razed. It was demolished in 1991 so that the intermodal yard could be enlarged. Removal of the shop began in June 1991 and the expansion of the pigyback yard was completed in November 1992. |
