In 1892, the IC bought the Memphis to New Orleans line, forming the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway. These lines were merged into the Y&MV.

| - Le Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad (Y&MV) était un chemin de fer américain de classe I qui fut créé en 1882 par l'Illinois Central Railroad. La ligne reliait Jackson, Mississippi à Yazoo City, Mississippi, Mississippi. La ligne fut prolongée vers le delta du Mississippi et vers Memphis, Tennessee. En 1892, l'Illinois Central Railroad (IC) racheta le Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway qui reliait Memphis à La Nouvelle-Orléans, Louisiane, avant de s'emparer du Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad. L'IC fusionna ensuite ces 2 compagnies dans le Yazoo & Mississippi Valley.Afin de simplifier son organisation, l'IC commença à racheter et à absorber ses filiales; c'est ainsi que le Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad cessa son exploitation en 1946.
