Nostalgia & History > KCS E3A on the Southern BelleDate: 08/23/22 07:21 KCS E3A on the Southern Belle Author: gcm July 61
KCS bought a few E3A units new in the late 30's. At Neosho,Mo. Photo by Tom Gildersleeve. Gary Date: 08/23/22 07:48 Re: KCS E3A on the Southern Belle Author: santafe199 Very cool! My paternal Grandmother was a regular KCS passenger between Kansas City & Texarkana. Just knowing she rode over these very rails is special. Thanks for the look!
