Train time in Neosho, MO. Getting a little artsy, here is a lightly sepia toned view of 4-6-0 SLSF 711 at Neosho, MO. Nice little scene, with the bus either ready to pick up or drop off passengers for the passenger train after the local leaves. Apparently, the bus has dropped off people for No. 3 with the 4-8-2 SLSF 4404 now stopped at the depot. Big train today, 14 cars.
