I recently acquired a large group of ancient (1910's to 1930's) negatives from the Kansas City Southern Railroad. These were once part of the railroad's files and are generally photos of railroad structures and the like. The Ford Model T manages to show up in some of the photos, so I thought I would share them here.

Re: Model T's & the Kansas City Southern Railroad part 2
Found a few more -
Notice that the same two gentlemen and their car show up in the Switch Shanty & Yard Office photos. Perhaps the photographer was with them.

Negative is fairly degraded, but still kind of a neat photo.

Over to the left, first photo, like the bike in the back of the truck. Maybe belong to the kid running messages from the telegraph office.

Not a Model T this time but a bit of Model T era advertising in the form of a Champion Spark Plugs billboard from Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
Building is the railroad depot's "Coal House", used to store the coal supply for the depot stoves.
