Shrewsbury Road
Title:  Shrewsbury Road
Description:  Three trains are on the west end of the Norfolk Southern's BACK BELT at Shrewsbury Road. Cotton Belt 8040 and Espee 8026 are on a westbound American President Companies (APC) stack train. These cars arrived from Atlanta on NS train No. 219 and are bound for Long Beach as SP train AVAXT. On the next track is KCS caboose 342 on KCS train No. 55. The KCS has just delivered the train to the NS, and it is on its way to the NS Oliver yard. On the right is KCS train No. 140, the BATON ROUGE TURN, departing from that railroad's West Yard. No. 140 has GP30's 4112, 4103, 4119 and 4106, 48 cars, and caboose 348; but one of the geeps will be set out up the road for use as a switch engine. The Espee train is waiting for a route through East Bridge Junction and onto the Huey P. Long Bridge, while KCS No. 140 needs to get onto the Illinois Central. Since 1985 KCS trains have used trackage rights over the IC to enter and leave New Orleans.
