It was especially happy night for this writer as his youngest son, Joseph "Joe" Kamm (below) along with his wife, Rebecca Emge Kamm, and his daughter Lillian Eve Kamm. had arrived slightly before the session. Also visiting the Sue Line was Dillon Stokes and his "Hiawatha" (below) .  A Southbound Freight  A southbound freight (above) is just moving behind Union Street Yard in Shreveport.  The two Kansas City Southern (KCS) SDS-50 locomotives are moving past South Morgan and towards Brandon.  Two trains are noted waiting at the south end of Sue City.  The southbound freight is passing through Leming.  The two SD-50 road units are picking up cars in Maryville. Random Shots of the Layout   It looks like business is picking up at the inter-modal facility in North Park.  It looks like the Z-train is about to pass a north bound freight in Leming.  A train is heading off to Underworld.  A southbound freight enters Robinson.  Caught at work are Mose Crews (above, black hat) as the Shreveport Yard Master and River Front Yard Operator and Charles Kneipp (above, left) at work doing maintenance as usual.
