A "dirty" KCS shop/yard |
| Description: |
F3A 4051 (built 1947) and a GP9 at the KCS (old L&A) shops in Minden,La. 4051 was scrapped in 1986. Even though the shops were an EPA nightmare, I miss the old dirty well used railroad shops compared to the squeaky clean ones today. The Louisiana Southern operates these rails today. They did clean things up. The building to the left (built in 1923) is still there. |

KCS F units "under wire" |
| Description: |
Four powered cab units and a couple of slugs head this KCS train which is picking up empty coal cars (after dropping off loaded ones) at the Texas Utilities Company (TXU) electric railroad interchange a few miles west of Pittsburg on the line to Shreveport. They will head west about 35 miles to drop off the cars at the lignite coal mine at Thermo, then tie up at the station in Sulphur Springs. The electric line heads north to the generating plant at Monticello and also interchanges with the ex-Cotton Belt near Winfield. |

One of the steel cabooses built in the mid-60's brings up the rear of the northbound. Once again - the track in the foreground is the bdginning of the KCS branch line to Lake Charles. The station was a museum (I believe it still is). |

| Description: |
F7A #4060 was one of the few remaining F units operating on the KCS (converted to a slug unit)ß!If you look real close the painted line to keep passengers from getting to close to the tracks was still there -- about 16 years after the last Southern Belle. |
