Levee Yard         
We're at South Front Street facing northwest as the switching lead from the ICG's Levee Yard curves across Fulton Street and disappears down St. Joseph Street. The track on the left connected with a couple of team tracks and the New Orleans Public Belt interchange. The tall building on the right is One Shell Square. Completed in 1972, it is the tallest building in New Orleans; 51 stories and 697 feet high. All traces of railroads in this area were obliterated by redevelopment for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition.
