| This was a view looking north on the New Orleans Public Belt eastbound track, facing the Oak Street grade crossing. The empty space on the left had been occupied by a pair of NOPB-KCS interchange tracks. On the right were the NOPB westbound track, the Illinois Central Gulf south- and northbound tracks, and the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board interchange track, which could be accessed by both the NOPB and the ICG. The structure on the right, just across Leake Ave., anchored power lines which crossed over the Mississippi River, which is just off to the left. |
