The logo symbolizes the Southern Railroad, which took over the rail system from the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroads on or about 1915. It was initially placed in Picayune in 1917, where it remained until it was damaged by construction in 2008. The salvaged pieces were reassembled in 2012 through an Eagle Scout project, and it was then placed at the Intermodal Tourism Center by the City of Picayune. It serves as a tribute to the citizens who built, maintained, and operated the ribbons of steel known as the Queen and Crescent Route, connecting Picayune and the world since 1883.
