Title:
KCS E6A 24
Description:
On 23 January 1961 Kansas City Southern E6A number 24 was showing off its rakish lines, customized portholes and trainphone antenna at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The locomotive had recently come in on train 1 – the southbound
SOUTHERN BELLE
– and would be here until leaving at 10 p.m. on train 2. The 24 had been built in January 1942 as KCS 4, was renumbered that December and was sold for scrap at Shreveport in November 1964.

Title:
KCS E6A 24
Description:
When this shot was taken at Shreveport in 1964, KCS 24 was near the end of its career. In 1962 and 1963, the railroad had purchased five used E7's from the Maine Central, allowing it to retire its three remaining pre-war E-units: E3A 21 and 22 and E6A 24. The 24 was scrapped just a few months after this photo was taken. (approximate date of photo)
