Does anyone have any info on the old Y&MV line which IC purchased? The area I am interested in is the route that ran parallel and closet to the Mississippi River. Through Memphis, Robinsonville, Lula, Greenville, Vicksburg and on south. I would like to know when these lines were abandoned and when IC bought them. Did this line go all the way into Baton Rouge?
