We were in New Iberia in 1999 to visit my wife's cousin. One day we went to Avery Island to visit the Tabasco plant, which involved paying a 10 cent toll at the bridge. The tracks were still there, with good-sized trees growing between the ties. Of course, by then SP was part of UP, the former-SP line to New Orleans had been sold to BNSF, and all the branches around there still in use were operated by a shortline called the Louisiana & Delta.
