Here is a track side 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 concrete fence between the depot and the tracks was put there to keep museum visitors out of harm's way. |
