T&P Tuesday: TS&N
Author: PVSfan

Texarkana, Shreveport and Natchez Railroad was a T&P branch between Shreveport and Texarkana that
traversed the southwest section of Arkansas.  This photo was taken by T&P dean Ed Robinson at Dixie LA.
According to my notes, locomotive #330 was a Alco-Cooke 4-6-0 of 1903 vintage that was scrapped 3/52.

Not much.  It was also called the "Hoxie Branch" and was abandoned in the 1950's.  Ed would normally tell crews he was going to take  a picture of them and asked them to make smoke at a certain location.  No smoke here, so crew was probably not warned.
