Seaboard System in Shreveport
Title:  Seaboard System in Shreveport
Description:  HLCX 2586, a former Seaboard System unit, is switching cars at the south city limit, Williamson Way. Also in evidence: the new action logo, and the sad disappearance of the classic Espee lighting clusters, replaced by a boring revoling rooftop light.
