Post date: Nov 19, 2015 4:46:10 PM

An overview of the Sue Line is as follows:

Having covered the Sue Line in photos, we will now change topics. First we will review the Sue Line by looking at the maps for each city or area. All of the maps were designed and drawn by 

Sue Line Crew member Charlie DeVillbiss (above).

We will begin on the north most portion of the area modeled- Ginnings yard.

Remember that on the Sue Line the south is always right and that the north is what is left.

Therefor, the right side of Ginnings yard is the northernmost part of the Sue Line.

Next we enter Riverfront Yard. 

Here there is a terminal master who gives messages to the 

Ginnings Yardmaster and the 

Shreveport Yardmaster.

Between Riverfront Yard and Shreveport is Ashby Junction.

Shreveport has several yard areas- all run by one operator-

LOW Yard

BUSY Yard

MET Yard

CW Yard and

Union Street Yard.

Across the Creek from Shreveport is Keithville which is operated by the 

Shreveport Public Belt (SPB) Operator.

The mainline continues south to Morgan.

Next we come to Brandon.

The town of Robinson is next.

A branch heads south from Robinson to Shattuck.

The mainline continues south to Sue City.

 Here there is a Sue City Operator (SCO).
