Six KCS Locomotives Powering Freight Down Wilson Alley
Title:  Six KCS Locomotives Powering Freight Down Wilson Alley
Description:  KCS Retro Belles 4047, 4048, 4052 along with KCS 4577, 2026, and 2954 overpower this long freight going down the Wilson Alley grade in Shreveport. You can see all the sand spots where trains going up the grade have had to get all the traction possible to make it up the grade (and I've seen some trains get stuck). The teal building adds color, but unfortunately clashes with the Retro Belle paint scheme.

Title:  Wwo trains, one KCS and one UP, converge from the north and south ends of the UP downtown yard
Description:  Shreveport's downtown UP yard is along the riverfront in Shreveport, across from tke Horseshoe Casino Hotel (in the r.h. corner of photo). The approaching UP freight in this picture has just left the UP yard from the north end. The KCS coal unit train is on a track that winds around to the south end of the UP yaid. This track converges into the double track main to form the triple track main just southwest of downtown Shreveport. The SUV by the locomotive is a KCS' roadmaster's SUV.
