Louisiana's Fall in Lettsworth
KCS 1 south has the hammer down as they roll south through Lettsworth, Louisiana, in "peak" Louisiana fall colors. The Christmas train has had no issues keeping track speed all the way out of Shreveport, and soon the train will be rolling onto the Morganaza Spillway as they continue south to Laplace for their Wednesday show behind the railroads shiny FP9 passenger motors. These particular FP9's were built in the mid 1950's for CN rail. The lead KCS 1 was built in January of 1955. There was a sense of style in the EMD catalog in the 1950's that will never be present again....
Thanks for looking!
