The main line of the Southern Pacific ran through the middle of Crowley, heading east towards New Orleans. The railroad coming in from the left was the Union Pacific's fromer MP branch running south from Euncie. At one time the Texas & Pacific also served Crowley, coming in from the east. The T&P line was abandoned in 1947, the UP branch was acquired by the Acadiana Railway in 1990, and the Sunset Route was acquired by the BNSF after the UP-SP merger in 1996.
