Meridian
he east-central Mississippi city of Meridian, which traces its origins to the northward construction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad in the 1850's, later became a strategic railroad center during the American Civil War as well as again during World War II. Although the Illinois Central Railroad did not participate in the early developments of Meridian as a rail junction, and was never in a dominant position as it was in nearby Jackson, there was an IC presence in Meridian for over a half-century.

In this view (above) of the Mississippi River from the Mississippi Welcome Center, the "new" Interstate 20 bridge is on the left and the "old" rail-HIghway bridge is on the right. The old bridge was built between 1928 and 1930. It has one railroad track and two very narrow (9-foot) road lanes. Prior to the opening of the new bridge, the old bridge was the route of U.S. Highway 80. The old bridge was originally owned by the Vicksburg Bridge & Terminal Co., but was purchased by Warren County, Mississippi on 30 April 1947. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and was closed to vehicular traffic in 1998. The rail line has been used by the Illinois Central, MidSouth Rail, and the Kansas City Southern.

The Old Vicksburg Bridge, also known as Mississippi River Bridge, is a cantilever bridge carrying one rail line across the Mississippi River between Delta, Louisiana and Vicksburg, Mississippi. Until 1998, the bridge was open to motor vehicles and carried U.S. Route 80 (US 80) across the Mississippi River. It is now only a railroad bridge, though one road lane runs through the bridge for inspection by workers. It was replaced by the new Vicksburg Bridge, a short distance down river, for vehicle crossings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It was built by the Vicksburg Bridge & Terminal Co. during 1928-1930 and has three cantilevered truss spans and three Parker truss spans.
