| This is the 5.75 degree curve that took the ICG Shore Line District off of East Gibson Street and north towards the former GM&O depot on North New Hampshire Street. When the East Louisiana Railroad built this line into Covington in 1888, its original depot was on the outside of this curve, where the trees are on the left of the track. The curved track was the main line, but it also formed the east leg of a wye. The track on East Gibson continued left and formed the south leg of the wye. The south and west legs connected about a block away, just past Vermont Street. |
