Abandoned Train in woods of Frost/Livingston?

Has anyone heard of the abandoned Garyville Northern Train engine somewhere in the woods around Frost and Livingston?
I read on an historical train website of it being sited sitting in the woods while a local hunting of this train engine. Can anyone confirm this?

I've never heard of that one, but I have heard of one on private land near Maurepas Swamp WMA. I do enjoy stories about such things.

The present north-south road from Livingston through Frost to Verdun, State Highway 63, occupies the old Garyville Northern roadbed.

I live down there and hunted and road fourwheelers on the old Garryville northern for years. I was always told that their was an indian mound back there and a flow well with pure water coming out. I never found it because when the gravel road runs out it goes straight to management area and then straight to swamp, but my dad and uncles said they saw them many times 40-50 years ago. I know it used to be a railroad and I actually found an old rail road spike, but I've never heard of an abandoned train being back there. Im not saying there isn't, but living here I figured I would have heard about it.

If you have facebook, check out the facebook group "Livinston Pasish old Photos" there was a discussion about this in the past couple of months.

Can you follow the old tracks on google earth. I think you can go back in time to find a winter time map where the leaves will be off the trees. May be able to find something.

Maybe this will help it is an article from the Ponchatoula Times, check page 1 and 9 for the story on the train, I believe it is the same train.

If it ever was there, the meth heads would have cut that thing up for scrap years ago.
