| The New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad was incorporated in Louisiana on Jan. 27, 1905 and in Mississippi
on May 9, 1905 by the owners of the Great Southern Lumber Co., who was
then building one of the largest sawmills in the country at the new town
of Bogalusa, La. NOGN bought the East Louisiana Ry on June 1, 1905. The
NOGN was completed from Slidell, La. to Jackson, MS in 1909. The Gulf,
Mobile & Northern Railroad acquired control of the NOGN in 1929, and
officially leased the NOGN in 1933. The NOGN was thereafter operated as a
part of the GM&N.
