| This is a view facing north of the CHALMETTE SLIP, which is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River just a few miles downriver from New Orleans. The slip and its wharves were built around 1905 by the New Orleans Terminal Co. to provide a river port facility for it owners, the Southern Railway and the St. Louis & San Francisco (Frisco). After the Frisco entered bankruptcy in 1913, the Southern became the sole owner of the NOTCo.; and in 1982 the Southern merged with the Norfolk & Western to form the Norfolk Southern. NS sold the slip to the St. Bernard Port, Harbor & Terminal District around 1995. |
