re: Was there a train station outside of Tiger Stadium back in the 1930s?

There was a warehouse train depot located on the corner of Field House Drive and South Stadium that was torn down about 12 years ago. It was across the street from the tall smoke or whatever the stack is at the Powerhouse.

It did not appear to have been used for passengers, but it could have been if needed. There is a photo of Huey P. Long beside a train car loaded up with LSU students going to the 1934 Vandy football game. That could have been taken downtown across from the Old State Capitol building, by the old Alex Box Stadium which opened in 1938 or at the warehouse depot.

The tracks ran from the warehouse depot at the extension of Field House besides the power station/transformer yard and jet airplane down the road behind the Facility Services Building and across the Old Front Nine. It connected to the existing main railroad tracks at the Gourrier/Burbank and Nicholson Dr/E HWY 30 location.

I cannot find a photo of it, but I have seen the drawings that show the tracks and of the building.

There was a split in the tracks near the warehouse depot that went towards the northwest, but it might have been for the powerhouse where the cooling towers are located.
