History
by Tony Howe:
The
Moss Point & Pascagoula Railroad sold the south 2 miles of its
railroad extending from a connection with the L&N east of the L&N
depot southward to the beach at Pascagoula along what is now Market Street
to Joseph Wells in 1898, who operated it as the Scranton & Pascagoula
Railroad for 2 years before it was abandoned in 1900. It was locally
referred to as the "Pascagoula Dummy."
