Don's Rail Photos
Louisiana & North West
The L&NW was incorporated in 1889 to take over former Louisiana North & South RR. In 1932 it ran between McNeil, AR, and Chestnut, LA. They also leased trackage from the Cotton Belt between McNeil and Magnolia, AR. They operated 12 locomotives, 10 passenger cars, 36 freight cars, and 13 service cars. At that time they were owned by Middle States Petroleum Corp. In recent years it came into the Salzburg collection of short lines.
There is an excellent history on the Louisiana Rail Site from which I shamelessly updated my roster information.
Over the years it has had an interesting collection of locomotives, mostly second hand.
I do not have roster information on 22.
I also do not have roster information on 23.
