Viewing Album:  Santa Fe Steam Engine, Caboose, and Historic Depots in Kansas!
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:8/25/2018 - 8/25/2018
Album Info:Today, I was driving through Kansas, so I stopped to take some pictures. Newton has a steam engine in Military Park, as well as a huge station that Amtrak still uses. The much smaller towns of Florence and Strong City still have stations too, though those stations aren't actually that small!
