Southern Belle

KCS' Southern Belle is a beautifully restored passenger train used for business meetings, public affairs and charitable events.  From 1940 until 1969, three Southern Belle business trains provided luxury passenger service between Kansas City and the Gulf Coast region.  In 1995, KCS restored some of the cars from one of the original Southern Belle trains.  In 2006, KCS purchased more equipment from the St. Louis Car Company, some of which has been refurbished and put into Southern Belle service.
