KCS 1 at Thrasher near Victoria |
| Description: |
The face of the Southern Belle, rebuilt GMD FP9 no. 1. It was built for a Canadian railroad back in the 1950s, but in more recent years was picked up by the KCS to be used to pull their business train, which KCS executives and their guests (politicians, customers, prospective customers) ride on occasion. Location: Thrasher, a short siding on the northern outskirts of Victoria. |

KCS 1 North crosses Lake Texana |
| Description: |
Crossing Lake Texana--not looking much like a lake. Not such a great shot, but I failed to get far ahead enough at this point to scout out a better angle. However, it would be hard to get water in the picture (that is water on the ground) given its scarcity in this now vegetation-filled valley. |

All those clouds that you see in these pictures threaten an outdoor photographer. Here, one of them has provided some inconvenient shade! Taken from the US 59 overpass north of El Campo. |
