Montgomery Morning

The KCS Holiday Express, lead by KCS 1 blasts south through Montgomery, Louisiana, on the original Louisiana and Arkansas mainline on their way to the days show in Laplace, La. Montgomery is a classic KCS location with control point signage on either ends of a rather short, hand thrown, siding that isn't used for much of anything these days. It's dark territory south of shreveport so these guys are limited to 49mph on their trip south. The old L&A main bisects the state of Louisiana from Shreveport to New Orleans and this version of the KCS Holiday express would travel 85% of that line en route.

 

Thanks for looking!
