Steam in Shreveport
After departing CPKC's Deramus Yard a half hour before, The Empress rolls southward through Cedar Grove on the south side of Shreveport.
The train is slowing to a stop though as the crew would have issues getting the automatic interlocking with UP's Reisor Sub to clear, resulting in the first of many delays on this warm and humid Saturday.
