Paula,
 The railroad was the New Orleans, Fort Jackson. Grand Isle Railroad. It was active from 1888 to 1911. It later changed to the New Orleans Southern and Grand Isle Railroad.

Subject: [LAORLEAN] 45 miles below the city

I found a newspaper item from the Times Picayune 1903 for the  sale of
"Randazzo Orange and Truck Farm" stated it was "situated about 45  miles below
the city, fronting the Mississippi River and the N. O., F. J and G.  I
railroad.".

Okay I don't live in Louisiana and I have no clue what is below New 
Orleans. Could anyone give me an idea what parish this property could have  been
for sale in???

Also does anyone know anything of the railroads mentioned in the  above?
