On a cold and bright December morning, Keokuk Junction Railways 4th annual "Santa Special" departs its small yard for the trains first stop in Mapleton. This train would travel the length of KJRY's line from East Mapleton all the way to Smithfield, IL and return.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
