Wooden Train Model Kit

Since the advent of the steam locomotive in the early 1830s, Americans dreamed of linking the country's east and west coasts.  On July 4, 1851, St. Louisans broke ground for the Pacific Railroad, the predecessor of the Missouri Pacific Railway, known as the "First Railroad in the West."  This locomotive wooden model kit is a tribute to the rich railroad and locomotive history of St. Louis and the Missouri Pacific Railway.
