Not only does the KCS Holiday Express spread lots of Christmas Joy, but the real mission is to raise funds for warm clothing for those without. Over the decades this event has raised more than 2.5 million dollars for the Salvation Army to purchase coats, gloves, and other cold weather supplies for children in our communities.
The event is free, and open to the public. Donations are gladly accepted.
To visit, Shuttles will be running from Texas High Stadium at Grim Park to and from the KCS Railyard. The event is free, and the kids LOVE it!
