Interesting website for this Mississippi RR. Abandoned by Illinois Central in 1997, bought by State of Mississippi, leased to what appears to be a volunteer organization, who began excursions with motorcars. Reopened for freight service in 2001. Lots of photos.

Bob,
It is quite an interesting line. I have ridden it several times on my motorcar.
If you get a chance to visit, contact one of the gentlemen listed on the website. They are very nice and very willing to accomodate requests from railfans.
