KCS Holiday Express In Town Yesterday @ 4:00 pm

Yesterday afternoon we had the KCS Holiday Express Train to visit our historic civil war town of Vicksburg, MS.  

The KCS Holiday Express is a festive, 6-car train that brings Santa Claus and his elves to communities throughout the company’s U.S. rail network at scheduled stops.  Guests to the train can visit with Santa Claus and walk through 3 cars filled with holiday displays. 

It started its 2018 journey in Shreveport and headed east into Mississippi.  At each of the 22 stops, gift cards for children needing warm clothing and other necessities will be distributed to The Salvation Army.  After leaving Mississippi, it will head back to Louisiana and then into Texas 

Here are a few pictures I took of the “festive train” yesterday.  A great turn out was had by all. 

Looking from The Old Depot Museum towards the KCS Holiday Express Train with a lot of law enforcement making sure the huge crowd is safe and sound.
