Thomas Williams, did you know the “Louisville & Nashville Radio Station (on Canal Street at the river), New Orleans, La”
My Mother called me Tommy.
I have been searching for most of my adult life for a picture of this Train station where my Mother and I would ride a train over to Clemount Harbor, Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast, from the time I was born in 1940 until her death in September 1962. The L&N passenger Train service from that L&N location stopped operating in 1954.

The Louisville & Nashville (L&N) facility at Canal Street and the Mississippi River was a passenger train station, not a radio station. Opened in 1902 and demolished in 1954, the terminal served major passenger routes like The Crescent and The Humming Bird before operations moved to the modern Union Passenger Terminal. The Audubon Aquarium sits on this historic site today. https://www.facebook.com/.../posts/2935504963271392/Facebook·Louisville & Nashville Railroad Historical Society +4
