Railroadforums.com is a free online Railroad Discussion Forum and Railroad Photo Gallery for railroaders, railfans, model railroaders and anyone else who is interested in railroads. We cover a wide variety of topics, including freight trains, passenger and commuter railroads, rail news and information, tourist railroads, railway museums and railroad history.
What once was a shared passenger depot for the GM&O and Southern Railroads now is partly used by the KCS Railroad and some local community groups.
The depot stands on the SE corner of the KCS Artesia Sub & NS Memphis District diamond in downtown Corinth, Mississippi.

KCS #2005 leads UP #6705, 6450, KCS #2021 and #2035 through the area of double track work between Heavener and Howe. The crew has just climbed aboard for the ride to Pittsburg. And with 22,000 ponies available on an empty coal train...I don't think their will be any issue with making track speed.
KCS SD45T-3 #4505 (ex-SP #9258) leads SD40-3 #630 (ex-C&NW SD45 #972) and HLCX SD40-3 #6501 (history unknown at this time) into Stillwell, OK to meet two northbound trains. Stillwell is named after Arthur Stillwell, the gentleman that built the KCP&G back in the late 1880-1890 time frame.
KCS SD40-2 #654 leads SD40-2 #672, SD60 #756 and SW1000 #4301 south out of Page. The dirt work in the foreground is the begining of siding extention south out of Page.
SD40-3 #6026 (ex-SCL SD45 #2028) leading SD50s #717 & #7013 (ex-CSX #8678, nee-CR #6784) into a sweeping curve south of Heavener. Good to see a SD45 carbody leading one of the hottest trains on the New Orleans-Shreveport-Kansas City line.
This was taken back in May after a day of shooting stuff all the way down to Philadelphia, MS. The late afternoon sun almost cost me about 5 shots! This one has been cropped & corrected.
