Kansas City Southern "Holiday Express" 12/13/2011

Preview of a longer video I will eventually post surrounding the annual visit of KCS's Holiday Express to the Saint Louis area. While the train doesn't visit Saint Louis proper, it does get as close as Godfrey (outside Alton). To do so, the power runs around the train in Roodhouse then heads down to Sherman Siding, south of Jerseyville, shoving the rest of the way into Godfrey as the KCS rails actually end there before joining UP into Saint Louis. This preview video is the run from Roodhouse to Jerseyville, offering the actual holiday display portion of the train on the head end instead of the rear.
