The 745 will be KCS all the way New Orleans-Kansas City. She will be towed by a KCS diesel. The 745 will have steam up for lubrication purposes. She will return in May to New Orleans.

745 will be using the former Louisiana and Arkansas (now KCS) from New Orleans to Shreveport, through the central part of the state, Alexandria and Colfax. Then they will use the originial KCS from Shreveport to KC through Heavener, OK and Joplin, MO. Anyone know what time it will reach Alexandria?
