The turnout was small this evening but the FUN was great.  Lionel Bragham (above) is seen with his WiiThrottle as he operate the Alexandria Yard.  Marvin Bennett, Jr. (above) is seen checking his switch list as he works the Lake Hamilton Paper Company as part of his duties as the Maryville Operator (MOp).  Charlie DeVillbiss (above) has plenty of paperwork as he works the duties of the Sue City Switcher.  Hard at work as usual is Mose Crews (above) as he handles the chores of the Shreveport Yard Master.  On the mainline, Charles Kneipp (above) is working his South Bound Train at Robert's Crossing.  Rodney Dixon (above) is checking his South Bound Extra Board train before leaving Union Street Yard in Shreveport..  Rob Robbins (above) is seen working his Mainline Train in North Park.  He may look like he is in the dark, but I can assure you that Jim Willis (above) is busy working his train at North Park. Both Jim Willis and Rob Robbins took photos for this session. Many thanks to both of you. SHOTS ALONG THE WAY............. The Sue Line is a world of varied scenes.   Union Street Yard in Shreveport. The old traffic bridge is being removed (above).   Keithville (above on the left) with the JKR Grain Facility (above on the right).   The business of truck moving of Shattuck Harwell Intermodal Transfer (above on the left) compared to the quiet woodlands between Morgan and Brandon (above on the right).   Scrap Day at the Scrap Yard (above on the right) also in Brandon.   The very busy Findley "Fast" Freight(above on the left) and the Brandon north end of town Howell's Liquor Company (above on the right). I wonder what or who she is waiting for?   The old station at Maryville (above on the left)has been changed into a brothel. Can you see any of the ladies? James Grain (above on the right) towers over Leming.   The Earle Elevator in Eastman (above on the left)is the smallest grain elevator on the Sue Line. The Murphree Oil Company at Eastman (above on the right) is named for the late D. Murphree.   The Leming Compressed Gas (above on the left) is busy, but the country road on the E-Branch is tranqui (above on the right)l.   The tressel between Maryville and Lake Hamilton (above on the left) is quite small, but the Mary Ann Bridge between Sherwood and North Park (above on the right) is BIG.   The town of North Park (above on the left) appears crowded, but The Yards at I-49 and NoLaCRA (above on the right) are even more crowded.   In downtown Shreveport, some things are growing (above on the left) while other things are being torn down (above on the right).  In the end, all things are changing as is the river (above) below Great Bridge between Ft. Barrow and Pinecrest. |
