The Gloster Southern Railway consists of 33 miles of track located in Mississippi and Louisiana. The track extends from Gloster, MS to Slaughter, LA where it interchanges with the Canadian National Railroad (CN). Historically traffic on the Gloster Southern Line has consisted of lumber and plywood.
The Mississipi part of the Gloster Southern Railway was built by the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Vicksburg & Memphis Railroad in 1882-1884. The New Orleans & Mississippi Valley Railroad built the Louisiana section near the same time. When the line was completed the two companies merged to form the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas Railroad. In 1986 the Gloster Southern Railroad commenced service to the Georgia Pacific Plywood Mill at Gloster, MS.
