KCS 4101 and 4110 running slow with block signals down due to storm caused power outages |
| Description: |
High winds and severe storms pounded Converse, Louisiana on 5/3/2009. As a result, there was a prolonged power outage that knocked out the main power for all KCS grade crossing signals as well as block signals in some areas. This train is passing by two signals which would normally be illuminated. |

KCS 4110 and 4101 slowly move south at Converse as they approach a northbound train led by KCS De Mexico 4518 and 4528.
