One of Kansas City’s favorite holiday traditions, the Holiday Express Train http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/153856038 has been bringing Santa to Union Station for 13 years.
The train includes a flat car with Santa;'s sleigh & reindeer, two cars with a miniature North Pole village, and Rudy the smiling Holiday Express engine.

The Holiday Express was created by volunteers who donated more than 8,000 hours to transform retired rail cars.
The train now travels to 6 States and makes stops in 20 cities; with Kansas City being the final stop where Santa visits for 4 days.
