Viewing Album:  Steam Engines of the Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Railroad
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:9/15/2018 - 9/15/2018
Album Info:All aboard! The Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Railroad maintains a short excursion line just south of Kansas City! The train doesn't run all the way in to Kansas City (or north, for that matter), but it runs a few miles south, through nice neighborhoods, through woods, and past the city baseball park. A GP9 pulls an open-air flatcar, a passenger car from the Lackawanna Railroad, and a caboose for a very pleasant experience! Rides happen on weekends June through August-always on Saturdays, sometimes Fridays, sometimes Sundays. Fridays June through August, the ride comes with a bowl of ice cream! Rides are just $10 ($12 for the ice cream special). For a full schedule, see their website here. https://kcrrm.org/index.php Also, though, the railroad has a neat collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Two steam engines are on display, Frisco 1632 and Okmulgee Northern #5. Also on display is a little Plymouth switcher and some other rolling stock. If you ever get to Kansas City, make sure to visit! P.S.--Also, the museum is only about a half hour from Kauffman Stadium (which is where I went afterwards) :)

Caboose!
Title:  Caboose!
Description:  All aboard at the Belton, Grandview, and Northern Railroad! They request passengers arrive 20 minutes early-I barely got there at that time, so I hopped aboard as soon as I bought my ticket. Taken through the coach window.

Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Railroad Coach
Title:  Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Railroad Coach
Description:  They let us start the ride in the coach, then gave us the option of moving to the chair car halfway through. I think that was to make sure no branches were in the way, perhaps. It was a nice day, so I moved to the chair car halfway through.

Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Coach
Title:  Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City Coach
Description:  This coach originally served on the Lackawanna Railroad back east and was orange. In the movie, it represented an army coach, so the studio had it painted green. Now, the Belton, Grandview, and Kansas City is hoping to raise enough money to actually pick a color!
