McComb | The Town the Railroad Built | Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orleans
Produced by Jim Albritton | McComb, Mississippi was founded in 1872 after Col. Henry S. McComb of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad, a predecessor of the Illinois Central Railroad (now part of the Canadian National Railway), decided to move the railroad's maintenance shops away from New Orleans and the negative influence of the city's saloons.
The railroad purchased land in Pike County, and three nearby communities, Elizabeth town, Burglund, and Harveytown, agreed to consolidate. In the new town, almost every family was involved with the railroad in some way. In the 1980s, the shop whistle blew for the last time. Today, 14 trains, ferrying passengers or freight between New Orleans and Chicago, pass through the city daily and the McComb Railroad Museum in downtown serves as a constant reminder of the city's historic role in the development of one of America's great railroads.

Blues trail McComb, Mississippi
This nice lady named Mary, who over see's the train museum in McComb Mississippi, was kind enough to share her memories of what she could recall about the early blues scene around town and a little bit about bo diddley. It was interesting to listen to her story about the blues men from back in the day. I happened to be on a trip with my brother visiting relatives in the area, so I spent the day looking for Bo's childhood home and was able to find it with help from the chamber of commerce and a few phone calls to track it down.There really isn't a blues trail, just a couple of makers to honor a home town boy who made it big in music.

195 Things Off 195: The Railroad Museum
Once, Fall River was a railroad hub in the Northeast. Anyone in a hurry to get between Boston and New York traveled through the city on rails. Passenger trains don’t run here anymore, but the Railroad Crossing sign still sits outside the Old Colony & Fall River Railroad Museum. And the New York Central System car is hard to miss, driving by or walking through, its robin’s egg blue paint a bright beacon.

Gone to Texas Exhibit at Allen Heritage Depot Museum (Until August 20, 2014)
Gone to Texas was a term used by some pioneer families at their old homeplace to notify people that they had moved west to start a new life in Texas. It is also the title of a new exhibit at the Allen Heritage Guild Depot Museum featuring pioneer families that came to the Allen area before the Civil War.
From the 1840s onward, several waves of immigrant families relocated here. Many were enticed by the advertising campaign of the Peters Colony land grant company who offered 640 acres of land to heads of households and 320 acres to single men. They described the land features of the Blackland Prairie in glowing terms with the promise of a better life. Photos, documents and items used during this migration and settlement period will bring Allen's original pioneer families to life.
Excerpts taken from the diary of sixteen-year-old Mary Susannah Lunsford detailing her family's travels with a wagon train from Kentucky in 1857 are featured along with stories of many other early settlers. All of these early pioneers made significant contributions to the community and its history and descendants of some still remain in this area.
Copies of original survey maps will be displayed so the original homesteads in the greater Allen area can be located. An overlay map shows the land surveys overlaid with present-day roads so you can find out on whose original homestead you now live.
Other maps of the central and southeastern states depict where many pioneers migrated from, along with the dates of their arrival. Museum visitors will be invited to record their own information—when they came to Texas and their former location.
The Gone to Texas exhibit will be on display from late April 26 through August 30. The Depot is open the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Arrangements for group tours of the exhibit can be made by calling Ed Bryan at 972.984.9086 or Paula Ross at 972.740.8017. The Guild's general meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 in the Heritage Center Depot and feature programs on various aspects of Allen's history.
The Heritage Guild invites anyone who has reminiscences or printed materials about Allen's past to leave a message on their website allenheritageguild.org. The Guild is striving to make the printed, audio and photographic historical materials housed at the Depot available to everyone in the community.

Stepping Stones to McComb's Railroad History
A dedication ceremony was held on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017, for Stepping Stones to McComb's Railroad History, a project completed by 12 students of Higgins Middle School in May, 2017. Located near the children's playground area on the south end of the McComb Railroad Depot Museum's rail car display, concrete stones were inscribed with brief sentences recognizing the railroad's influence in the founding and development of McComb City, Mississippi, and remembering historic events in the city's history. Special thanks to Entergy Corporation for their longstanding support of the McComb Railroad Museum, including a recent grant to make this project possible, to the Board and Volunteers of the Railroad Museum, to the McComb School District and Higgins Middle School, and to the City of McComb's Board of Mayor and Selectmen.
