New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad

The line opened in 1883 and extended 196 miles from New Orleans to Meridian, Mississippi.

[2] In 1916 the Southern Railway acquired the NO&NE, which had been marketed as a portion of the Queen and Crescent Route since the 1880s.

[2] From that point on the NO&NE owned or were assigned locomotives and other equipment with Southern lettering, but they carried NO&NE sublettering until the line was merged into the Alabama Great Southern in the late-60s, at which time sublettering was changed to AGS.

In 1960, NO&NE reported 746 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 13 million passenger-miles; at the end of that year it operated 203 miles of road and 368 miles of track.

In 1969, as part of an effort to simplify its corporate structure, the Southern Railway's Alabama Great Southern Railroad operating subsidiary merged the NO&NE, ending its existence on paper.
