Southport Tower         
This view of the west side of the IC's Southport Junction Tower shows its professionally-lettered sign and the fine condition of the building! The tower was built in 1912 by the Louisiana Railway & Navigation Co., a predecessor of the KCS, to control several crossings with the IC. It closed on 27 October 1996, after being condemned by the Federal Railroad Administration; and was razed on 13-14 August 1997.
