KCS Varnish I

Description

The Kansas City Southern hated their passenger trains. They did everything they could in the 1960's to get the ICC to let them discontinue service. Maintenance was crap and appearances were just as bad. Every time I look at this picture I envision a US government PR poster of life in East Germany before the wall came down.

Other roads were still putting on a good show... witness some other pix in my gallery... but not the KCS.

A shot of the rear of this train is here: [link]
