Seventh Annual KCS Holiday Express to Make Two Stops along the Louisiana Holiday Trail of Lights

Kansas City Southern Holiday Express Christmas Train will be making stops in Shreveport and Pineville

SHREVEPORT, LA – The Kansas City Southern Holiday Express Christmas Train will be coming to Shreveport on Dec. 1 and Pineville on Dec. 4. The train will arrive at KCS Yard, 4500 North Lake Shore Drive, Gate 5 at 4 p.m. in Shreveport and 901 Melrose Street at 4 p.m. in Pineville.
