Another week another train pic.

Well I'm done with one week of classes and feel pretty good about it. I'll feel better when I'm a little further along in the semester though. I'm sure midterms will be her before I know it though.

This is another train picture taken several months ago. It's a Kansas City Southern train. Here is a little history on KCS, courtesy of Wikipedia, you might find interesting.

The Southern Belle was a named passenger train service offered by Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS) from the 1940s through the 1960s, running between Kansas City, Missouri and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The service was inaugurated on September 2, 1940. To promote the new train, KCS held a beauty contest to find Miss Southern Belle a young woman whose image would be used in advertising materials system wide. Local competitions were held before the train's launch in all of the cities that the KCS served. The ultimate winner of the competition, Margaret Landry Moore, was the winner of the local competition in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She was selected as Miss Southern Belle at the final competition in New Orleans, Louisiana, on August 24, 1940. She briefly became a screen actress, being most famous for her cameo as Teresa Guadalupe in The Leopard Man (1943).

The last run of the Southern Belle was on November 2, 1969.
