KCS 1 Vicksburg, Ms, Holiday Train 2024
The 2024 edition of the now CPKC Holiday Express crosses the massive Mississippi River bridge along the Meridian Speedway as they enter Vicksburg, Ms. After being stuck behind a parade of heavy eastbound trains the KCS 1 and company are now very late to their showtime in Jackson, Ms. At the time of this photo they were only two hours away from their start time with over an hour runtime left to the state capitol. When the tail end of their short train clears the 10mph permanent speed restriction over the river engineer Steve Harner will notch his three FP9's up for the climb out of town on the tortuous grade from the river. They'll make the showtime at Jackson beginning what ultimately becomes a multi-week tour of the KCS System south of Shreveport for the holiday express.
Thanks for looking!
