The Kansas City Southern Railroad (KCS) was a Class I US railroad operating in 10 Mid-western and Southeastern states; its tracks were generally between Illinois and Missouri and the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coasts. It had about 3,900 miles of track. Through a separate subsidiary, the Kansas City Southern de Mexico, it reached into central Mexico. The Canadian Pacific Railroad (CP) purchased the KCS in 2023, and the two railroads now operate under the name Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC). For sale is the last desk map issued by the KCS in 2014. It shows KCS routes in the US and Mexico, as well as the lines of major connecting railroads.
