KCS 1 (And me)
Title:  KCS 1 (And me)
Description:  I remember this day. The KCS Christmas Train came to my hometown of Siloam Springs at last, and being the last time I went to the Christmas train being in 2008 when I was 6 years old, I immediately jumped at the chance. Not only was the OCS there, but their converted equipment for the walk-through train. I had some prior knowledge of the train, and I ended up impressing one of the KCS employees by saying this was an FP9. Even better, I was interview for TV! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxFedXlS7Go
