The Lake Arthur Branch

Picture

Point of Interest

Facing east in Bell City, where the line crossed LA Route 14. The right-of-way was located in the grassy area parallel to Railroad Avenue. It is also visible from LA Route 14 further east; the scenery was much the same as in this picture. Photo by Mike Palmer, August 2011.

This branch line served local farming areas in southwest Louisiana. Judging by how little of the line remains, it has been abandoned for a while, most likely more than 20 years. A Rand McNally railroad atlas shows the line to be active as of 1982.

Thanks to Mike Palmer for contributing information about this route.
