My favorite trainwatching spot is the (ex-L&N) street crossing in downtown Bay St. Louis, MS. I used to be able to park safely on either side of the tracks and watch long CSX freights head into and out of downtown, crossing St. Louis Bay on a long bridge. <br /> <br />There were lots of leased units and foreign-road power (SP, UP) during the time I lived in BSL. The old depot in town is another great place to watch freights and the occasional AMTRAK. <br /> <br />BSL is a very nice, small town with good restaurants and shops to visit between trains. The only drawback is that CSX doesn't have the volume of traffic that you might see in a place like Rochelle. <br /> <br />I also understand that the CSX right-of-way may be moved to the other side of I-10. That would wipe out any more trainwatching in the cities of Bay St. Louis and Waveland.
