Baton Rouge station

In 1949 passenger service consisted of the Illinois Central's Planter, an all-coach train from Memphis, Tennessee to New Orleans via Vicksburg, Mississippi (along the Yazoo (main line, rather than the IC main line). The station hosted an additional two trains to and two trains from New Orleans. In the station's final years of use, it was not used by the Illinois Central but instead by the Missouri Pacific, the unnamed successor to the Houstonian night train on the Houston - New Orleans route. This was not the final train in the city; the Kansas City Southern Railway continued the Southern Belle until 1969 at that company's own station in Baton Rouge. == Louisiana Art and Science Museum ==
