National Train Day 2011

Saturday was National Train Day. I caught all of this and more. This was to be uploaded on Mothers' Day. It still is, but it is 11:52 Central, due to a new computer filtering system blocking YouTube for sexual content. (WTF?) Anyways, National Train Day was a fun day, which was filled with KCS on almost every train!
