MSNBC published an article back in October about rebuilding the Bay St. Louis Bridge on the CSX New Orleans & Mobile Sudivision.
I hope we can see some photos of this work, in progress. That would be very interesting!!! Boxcab E50
Ken, did you click on the audio slide show? That at least gave a dozen or so views of the work in progress. I doubt if I would be allowed to hitch a ride on one of their skiffs or tugs...they're kinda narrrow minded that way, doncha know... BTW, I found this site through a Google search of "NO&M". I'll try to search for "CSX Katrina Bridge Repair"...who knows?
Hank- Do you mean where it says "click Play below..."? If so, I don't see any "Play" to click??? Where do I look? Boxcab E50

mmi16, that's great news! Thanks for sharing it. Has the Biloxi Bridge been opened for traffic? I saw a southbound fully loaded tie and ballast train come through Gulfport this morning. Since the train was still north of the KCS interchange, I assume it had crossed the Biloxi Bridge...?
Certainly they don't want to lose any property tax revenues, if the RR were not rebuilt. Anyhow, sounds like great news. I wonder if any of the RR video outfits have been documenting this work. Would be a very unique production. I'd buy a copy! Boxcab E50
