KCS Southern Belle 1940 Jack Austerman, Poteau, OK 

This is so rare. Amazing color images.

Look how nice everyone dressed for the ride! I remember riding KCS passenger trains from Nederland TX and Shreveport LA up to Poteau back in the 60s. Good times.

Jack is my grandpa :) 94 now and going strong

Sweet.

So great to see Southern Belle footage. Thank you for sharing! Would you be open to allowing me to use this in a future documentary? You would be credited of course.
