Description

1911 Christmas card to T.L. Crumbaugh from the Accounting Department of the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad Company (NOGN) at Bogalusa, Louisiana. The card contains a list of the staff and a group photograph. The New Orleans Great Northern Railroad was incorporated in Louisiana and Mississippi in 1905 by the owners of the Great Southern Lumber Company, which was then building one of the largest sawmills in the country at the new town of Bogalusa. NOGN bought the East Louisiana Railway in 1905. The NOGN was completed from Slidell, Louisiana, to Jackson, Mississippi, in 1909. The Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad (GM&N) acquired control of the NOGN in 1929, and officially leased the NOGN in 1933. The NOGN was thereafter operated as a part of the GM&N.
