back In The Day,
Marine days that is , they would move us all over the place in "cattle
cars". Yep , behind a big old truck! It was hot and pretty dern miserable
during the summer, but it beat the heck out of walking ! I never really felt
like a steer either. Most of the folks needing that ride out of New Orleans
probably do not have a clue to what the holocaust was. If they knew alittle,
they probably didn't know about the "Death Trains". Remember in the last
survey of Americans, 50% did not know George Washington was the Commanding
General of the Continental Army
Ok OK OK , maybe I did get alittle nervous when we would pass a sign
that said KANSAS CITY...

What about trains?
Are there rail lines that run into New Orleans?
You can move thousands with boxcars and flatcars and a couple engines.

Yes, I did realize that, which is why I did not include a reference to it
in my original posting.
The difference being that the boxcars would not be locked in this case and
the conditions at the destinations would be significantly better than
those of the previous reference.
If the passengers are too small minded to realize these differences and
choose not to escape then one has to question their intelligence.
Take the train and live, or stay in New Orleans and suffer or die?
Personal choice determines their fate.
