| Here is a streetside view of the former Kansas City Southern depot at Leesville, Louisiana. It was built in 1916 and saw its last passenger trains in 1968, but it remained in use by the railroad until a new yard office was dedicated on 22 May 1982. KCS donated the building to the Vernon Parish Policy Jury, and it was dedicated as the Museum of West Louisiana on 5 July 1985. The "freight" on the loading dock was actually a 2-dimensional painting on plywood which was attached to a safety railing. The railing and painting was made by a local artist to comply with Federal safety regulations. |
