Foggy Bay Sunrise
Early Morning on Saint Louis Bay.
CSX W089 rolls slowly across Saint Louis Bay, and into Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, at restricted speed. The W089 is a fully loaded Herzog ballast train that will dump ballast along the New Orleans and Mobile Subdivision between here and the Pearl River drawbridge 15 miles to the south. South of Bay Saint Louis this portion of the former Louisville and Nashville railroad runs at, or below, sea level into the major terminal in New Orleans, Louisiana. This line was destroyed by hurricane Katrina in 2005. Katrina made landfall right where I stood for this shot... No Katrina anywhere this day, and CSX was running quite a few trains on this fine morning.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
