I-01 |
| Description: |
Chicago to New Orleans pig train, I-01, coming by Sawyer (mile 637.58). There is nothing but a main track at Sawyer today, but until the early 1990's, there was a siding here. Southbound trains that stalled on Duck Hill would double their train here. |

| Title: |
I-02 |
| Description: |
New Orleans to Chicago pig train, I-02 is seen sitting on the main just south of Monroe St. on the south side of Grenada. They are waiting on southbound pig train, I-01 to get close to Grenada so they can pull into the siding. They would wait for the other train to get close to minimize the time the crossings are blocked while in the siging. The 6,113 ft. siding here has 4 street crossings. That Amtrak engine seen here is deadheading back north, it had been involved in a crossing accident. |
