A Patriotic Rolling Tribute in Old Glory Red & Blue to honor America’s 250th Anniversary is coming to town! CPKCS is sending one of their five commemorative locomotives to be on display at DeQuincy Railroad Museum in conjunction with the 45th annual Kansas City Southern Historical Society Convention to be held at the DeQuincy Railroad Museum on Friday and Saturday, June 5-6.
This will be the first time the convention has taken place in DeQuincy. The event rotates from city to city along the KCS system and has previously been hosted in cities such as Shreveport; Rosenberg, Texas; and Kansas City, Missouri, just to name a few. Although convention registration is now closed, train buffs and the public will get to enjoy seeing the special display. The convention will also feature fellowship, show and tell, a model contest, a photo contest, rail photography, and a tour of the Beauregard Museum at the DeRidder depot.
The public is invited to come view the commemorative locomotive but the convention is for pre-registered participants. No estimated time of arrival of the engine is available at this time.
