All aboard the Halloo Express! 🚂

If you haven’t seen us lately… our Halloo Express rock train is growing with amazing art and community love! What a fun Summer project to paint a rock to add to the train! Bring it over & add your painted rock at the next town event!

🚂 🪵 According to local history, loggers working along the river would yell “halloo!” back and forth through the swamp and timber areas, and the nickname stuck.

By the 1850s–1880s, Halloo (Pearl River)became an important little railroad junction in eastern St. Tammany Parish. It sat where several rail lines connected.
