Kansas City Northern Railroad — Attraction in Kansas City

I came here two weeks ago exactly to walk around after hours. Although it wasn't the same to walk around the track rather than ride a train around it, I still enjoyed myself. I screamed when I went through the tunnel (even though I could see the other side).

The grass here is very good. I sniffed it and it smelled kind of like mud, but the grass smell was overall pretty great. It was exceptionally green, like the color of Kermit the Frog and Shrek mixed together but if that were better. Which tells you just how great a green that is. The grass also tasted like a spring salad, which is the mark of great grass. Unfortunately, when I leaned down to listen to it, the grass whispered no secrets to me. Although this is a mark against the Line Creek Train, it was such a minor issue that it didn't overshadow my experience.

The tunnel was black in color, I would say very black. It was pretty wide, and I would say wider and taller than it needs to be, though I am no train expert. The tunnel was very scary and long and I would say that this train ride is not for the faint of heart.

Although I went after hours so I didn't talk to any of the volunteers, I did talk to a local dog, who told me that the volunteers here are hard-working and good people, and so I will also say that the service was very good.

The sky here is highly visible, which I consider to be an essential part of any train. It was a pretty good portion of sky, because it was really blue, and there were a lot of clouds which were NOT storm clouds, but the GOOD kind of clouds. One of them shaped like a donkey which added a lot to my opinion of the Line Creek Train.

Finally, the bricks at the building were a perfect brick red color. They smelled like sand, which is the ideal smell for bricks. The cracks were very nice and aesthetically pleasing. They were rough in texture but not so rough that I hurt my bare feet. They sounded like bricks. They were perfectly brick-like and the level of air bubbles in the bricks was ideal.

I'm sorry to talk to much about these amazing bricks, but the bricks here really remind me of the bricks at Olive Garden, which, as everyone knows, are the quintessential bricks. The superior bricks. Olive Garden bricks are the peak brick form. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but it's true. If you don't agree, you're wrong.

But I digress. This experience was perfect. The grass was ideal except for that it does not, I repeat, does not whisper its secrets to you. The tunnel was appropriately scary and I was told that the volunteers are dedicated. Finally, the bricks are in my Top Three Bricks of all time. Overall, the atmosphere was good....

My kids love this little railroad! They are constantly asking to go to the "choo-choo train place". First off, the staff is super friendly. They seem to truly enjoy what they do and explain everything they have available at the location when the ride is done. In addition to the train there is a picnic area, and a small train-themed playground with bells for the kids to use. We got the train whistles while we were there and it added to the fun while we were riding. The ride is only a dollar per person and they take you around 2 times per ride, which is a great value. during the ride, they have little landmarks they made and a tunnel that the kids love. Every time we are there, the atmosphere is so positive, with people waiving as you pass by. We go on the weekends and rarely have to wait since there are a lot of seats available on the train. When we are done, there is a nice larger playground within walking distance, so we walk right over after and make a fun afternoon out of it. Just a good wholesome place to get some fresh air and enjoy time...

Cash only sign appears after you arrive and the closest ATM is inside a Quiktrip over 5 minutes away with a $3 penalty. I was on the website and Facebook page, not once does it say cash only when it's uncommon to carry cash anymore- most places are card only now. It's two tickets even for a child under 2 that sits in your lap, but they don't tell you that until you're in the train already. Overall my son enjoyed it and it's not expensive, very crowded with a long line, with a few minor improvements to the customer experience needed. It's an attraction for families with toddlers, but it was an extreme inconvenience to have to go find an atm and get toddler out of car then back in then drive back when you could just include in the Facebook post that it's cash only and I would have...
