Belle Chasse

NOGC #1023 crosses the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway into Plaquemines Parish with a grain train for CHS in Myrtle Grove. The MoPac lift bridge and the adjacent Belle Chasse Tunnel were built in the late 1950s when the waterway opened. The Judge Perez Bridge adjacent to the MoPac bridge was built in the late 1960s to alleviate congestion in the tunnel.
