Lost Railroads of Winn Parish project
The various lines serving Winnfield had 12 passenger trains and 8 freight trains running into Winnfield daily.
Railroads serving Winnfield in 1959 were Louisiana & Arkansas Railway Company, as part of the KCS-L&A System;
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad; and Louisiana Midland Railway (formerly a branch of the L&A).

Winnfield had three depots
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific / Front St. and East Main (location of the museum)
Louisiana & Arkansas RR = South end of Jones Street. (near where a boxcar now sits)
Tremont and Gulf Railroad = 601 Front St.(Hwy 34 next to railroad north side)
Welcome to the new lost railroad project.
This is a work in progress....
Photos are needed of trains and depots and any info you have on abandoned railroads are needed.
