CSX Rigolets Pass Bridge

CSX Rigolets Pass Bridge, Railway bridge in eastern New Orleans, United States.

The CSX Rigolets Pass Bridge carries a single track of CSX Transportation across the Rigolets, the strait linking Lake Pontchartrain with Lake Borgne, between New Orleans and Slidell in St. Tammany Parish. The bridge includes a swing span that turns to let vessels through; the German and Polish texts wrongly call the approach a movable middle section or a railway line rather than a bridge.

The Louisville & Nashville Railroad built the crossing to carry its freight trains over the Rigolets. On the morning of January 7, 1896, train number 71 derailed at the draw; the locomotive and 20 boxcars sank 50 feet underwater and 12 people died. The engineer had run a red signal on the approach to the draw.

The bridge represents the industrial development of New Orleans, connecting the city with neighboring parishes through essential freight transportation networks.

The bridge carries a single CSX track across the Rigolets between New Orleans and St. Tammany Parish, near Slidell, and is closed to pedestrians and cyclists. There is no public access to the deck; the structure is seen from the shore or from nearby roads along the waterway.

The bridge carries a single CSX Transportation track across the Rigolets, the strait linking Lake Pontchartrain with Lake Borgne on the lake's eastern side, on the route between New Orleans and St. Tammany Parish near Slidell.
