KCS Depot |
| Description: |
Here is a streetside 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 "freight" on the loading dock was actually a 2-dimensional painting on plywood which was attached to a safety railing. The railing and painting was made by a local artist to comply with Federal safety regulations. |

KCS Yard Office |
| Description: |
This office at the KCS Leesville Yard was dedicated on 22 May 1982, enabling the railroad to move out of its depot just north of here. When this building opened, Leesville was a crew change for trains travelling between Shreveport and the Gulf Coast, but now crews run all the way through. |

KCS Depot |
| Description: |
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. |

KCS Yard |
| Description: |
Looking south on the KCS towards Leesville Yard at the yard office. GP9's 4165 and 4164 are tied up on the left, and GP7's 4161 and 4154 are next to them. The pairs of geeps or other local power were used on two locals that ran out of Leesville Yard: the Many Dodger and the De Ridder Dodger. Technically, the former had the duty of serving as far north as Loring, and the latter as far south as Singer; but traffic needs seldom actually took them beyond their namesake stations.Typical traffic consisted of wood chips picked up at the Boise sawmill and plywood mill at Fisher and Florien, respectively, by the Many Dodger and later delivered to the Boise newsprint mill at De Ridder by the De Ridder Dodger; pulpwood picked up from other companies' wood yards at such places as Anacoco and Hawthorn for later delivery to Boise at De Ridder; out-bound products from the Boise mills at Fisher, Florien, and De Ridder; grain for the Shell Beach chicken feed mill at Many; plastic pellets to and from the Ampacet mill at De Ridder; and, of course, empty cars to and from all of the above.The De Ridder Dodger also ran the Fort Polk Branch as needed to handle routine transportation of a few cars at a time. When there was a larger need for major moves into and out of Fort Polk, KCS would send extra power down from Shreveport to handle it. This tended to happen in spells when the Army would have something going. |

KCS Bar |
| Description: |
Despite its name, we can be assured that this establishment was unaffiliated with the Kansas City Southern Railway. It was located across South Third Street from the former KCS depot, and not too far from the railroad's yard. There had been a wooden structure here named the KCS Cafe; and after it burned down in the 1960's, it was replaced with this brick building. The cafe's location made it a convenient rest stop for rail travellers; but after passenger service ended in 1968, the business evolved into what we see here. It was subsequently renamed, and then closed. |
