From GM&O to IC

            A pair of GP38-2s have a healthy 78-car Saltillo Turn easing south through downtown West Point on a perfect fall afternoon. While the vast majority of KCS' Artesia Subidivison line from Meridian to Corinth is the former GM&O (and originally Mobile & Ohio) mainline, West Point is the one place where the ancestry gets a bit complicated as evidenced by the former Illinois Central depot on the right. Following IC/GM&O merger in 1972, the ICG combined trackage of those two lines plus the Columbus & Greenville into one quite circuitous route through town; and at this moment the train is on a remaining stretch of the IC which is still in use as far north as Aberdeen to serve some large chemical plants. Once they get to the wye on the southwest side of town, they'll hang a hard left on a connection track that runs about a mile to the east to return to the old GM&O main for the rest of the run south to Artesia.
