Title:  KCS 799 leading train #55
Description:  A KCS trio of a GP40-2, F7(A) Slug, and GP40, drag a freight across Essen Lane on their way from Shreveport to New Orleans. The train is either a #53 or #55(most likely) on the the "New Orleans Sub" of the "Louisiana & Arkansas Division" for the KCS. Train 55 usually had chemical empties returning to Baton Rouge. It also carried piggybacks. (53 ran the same route, but to Family Lines' Gentilly Yard) KCS 799 was part of a two unit order delivered August 1979, making it five years old in this shot.

Description:  F7A #4060 had begun life as KCS #73D when delivered in August of 1950. Later, it was renumber #90. It suffered a fire in 1977, at which time it was rebuilt as a slug and renumbered 4060. It was semi-perminantly paired with the 799 at the time of this shot.

UTC Dome
Title:  UTC Dome
Description:  In 1956 the Union Tank Car Company began to design a revolutionary tank car maintenance shop which would be constructed along the Kansas City Southern “D” Line at Alsen, just north of Baton Rouge. The shop would be enclosed in a geodesic dome 384 feet in diameter and 128 feet high; and when it was completed in October 1958, it was the world’s largest clear-span structure. The main feature of the shop was a circular transfer table which served 30 maintenance positions; and the design was considered so successful that Union built a similar structure at Wood River, Illinois in 1961.

Unfortunately, the transfer table was designed for 1950-size cars, and it could not accommodate the longer cars which came along soon after it was built. Union sold the property to the Kansas City Southern in 1990; but the railroad was more interested in the land than the dome, which sat vacant and deteriorated. In November 2007, just one year before it would have been eligible for placement on the National Register of Historic Places, KCS obtained a demolition permit from the City of Baton Rouge and quickly razed the dome.
