Just Screwed!

[Publius]

The Union Pacific, BNSF, Canadian National, CSX and Norfolk Southern all have lines into the port of New Orleans. Even the Kansas City Southern, the smallest of the Class I's, has a line from the northwest into the port.

We're lost one of our most important ports, and it's going to hurt the railroads, not only in terms of lost revenues, but also in terms of rebuilding, if in fact the port is rebuilt.

Doesn't really look all that bad. Most of the rolling stock is upright and on the rails, most of the track looks like it will be OK once the water is gone. Too early to tell if there was enough flow to scour out under the ties, but the fact the cars aren't tipped over is a good sign.

Someone's going to be very busy...
