The westbound Amtrak Mule arrives right on time. It originates in downtown St. Louis and this is its first stop. The Mule travels across Missouri to Kansas City, but we will disembark at Lees Summit.




An expectant crowd waits to board. We had to check in individually and show photo IDs to get our tickets and parking passes. Bill Rieschel, in the black hat and gray jacket, is the mastermind of this excursion. Behind him, in the red hat, is Jerry Smith, our special guest.
