The southern end of this ex-Missouri Pacific abandoned trackage, shown here, starts at a wye at Talla Bena. The eastern track of the wye heads to the lock and dam at the nearby Mississippi River; the tracks to the south connect with Union Pacific at Tallulah, LA. The Delta Southern currently owns the line and stores a few of its CF7s on the northeastern quadrant of the wye, just out of view to the right.
This southward view of the tracks at Roosevelt, LA, shows the tracks not to be in a very poor state.
Here, the tracks approach a bridge over a small bayou at Alsatia, LA. US 65 can be seen to the left.
The tracks cross over the wooden bridge at Alsatia, LA.
The wooden bridge over the bayou is small.
Looking at the tracks on the south side of the bridge.
Here we see evidence of the tracks in Transylvania, LA where they cross state highway 581. Alongside the mainline is a small siding, seen in the background.
The mainline crosses SH 581 and proceeds south, through the grass, and ultimately through the trees in the distance.
The tracks follow a straight path through the trees in the background.
The grade crossing of the siding at SH 581.
Another view of the siding at SH 581.
I have never seen this type of crossbuck with a triangular sign indicating the number of tracks.
