KCS at the SP Depot
Not a combination one would historically have ever expected to see, but in the 21st Century KCS trains regularly pass the Southern Pacific depot at Wharton, southwest of Houston. Although SP abandoned this line in the late 1980's, KCS purchased and rebuilt it 20 years later (and KCS put a new sign on the depot).
Here, KCS's Southern Belle business train rolls past the Wharton depot on its way to Laredo for the groundbreaking of a new international bridge to Mexico.
