Kansas City Southern Train No. 2 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern train No. 2 – the northbound SOUTHERN BELLE – was sitting on Track 3 in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, awaiting its 9:30 PM departure. No. 2 consisted of E9Am 23, a baggage car, a coach and a lunch counter-lounge observation car. In December 1967 the railroad sought permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to discontinue all passenger service, but the ICC issued four extension orders for Nos. 1 and 2 totaling 18 months. After May 1968, Nos. 1 and 2 were the only passenger trains left on the KCS, and the railroad was waiting for ICC approval to discontinue them. No. 2 finally left New Orleans for the last time on 2 November 1969. (approximate date of photo) |
