Shreveport's UP yard at Levy Street looks forlorn, severed from the KCS junction.
To the left, we see the recently rebuilt "Rabbit Line". Straight ahead, we see the local line that runs from the former KCS Depot Street yard to a Hollywood yard. Approximately 1/2 mile from this spot, this local line and the Rabbit Line cross. In spite of the shiny rails, there is no place behind the photographer for the trains to go.
