Thanks, samfp. I've often wondered about some of the rail alignments in the middle of the state.

You might enjoy the following linked site:
@ http://www.laoperationlifesaver.org/map.aspx
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, Johhny,

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

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.
