The Louisville and Nashville Terminal, located at Canal and the River, New Orleans, ca. 1910. The L&N was the first line to operate the "Crescent," which ran from New York to New Orleans, via Washington, DC, and Atlanta.
This lovely station was demolished in the 1950s, when all passenger train traffic was merged from the then-five terminals in the city to the Union Passenger Terminal on Loyola Avenue.
The L&N Terminal is now the site of an Entergy electrical substation and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.
Legendary Locals of New Orleans, published by Arcadia is a 128-page treasure trove of people, famous as well as "unsung heroes," whose lives made an impact on the City of New Orleans.Read the back-cover textBuy the book (signed from author, Amazon, B&N, Powells)
