I was kinda surprised that the train/truck collision in West Monroe on 10/5/14 was a UP line. How far east does this line go? Or does it turn at Monroe toward the South? Does it parallel the KCS Shreveport to Monroe (Meridian Corridor)? Could not find a definitive map on this.

Mer Rouge is on the former MP line from Little Rock to Alexandria, which runs south from Monroe.

Thanks, Johhny,

It is for Operation Lifesaver of Louisiana, and by manipulating your cursor over the map you can track the various rail lines in Louisiana. It is a pretty good tool to find out ownership of lines, as well.
P.S. [ The Shreveport-Meridian Corridor is the East-West 'Meridian Corridor' of the KCS RR. ]
Thanks, samfp. I've often wondered about some of the rail alignments in the middle of the state.
