Follow on Google News | Wm. F. Ross Special Mini Train Inaugural Run 10/19 at The National Museum of TransportationBy: The National Museum of Transportation "We are hosting Trick-or-Track on October 19th. Trick- Wm. F. Ross's autograph adorns the replica of the Jupiter engine. It's a signature that Dr. Darryl Ross, President of The National Museum of Transportation Board of Directors, knows well. "I've seen it many times," Ross said of his father's distinctive mark. "He would give me motivational notes when I was in school. He always signed them 'Wm. F. Ross.'" The idea of honoring his dad's memory by placing his name on the engine appealed to Ross. "I wanted to honor my dad and financially help the Museum," Ross said. The Museum, voted this year as one of the 'Top Five Best Open Air Museums' in the Country by USA Today readers, is open Wednesday-Sunday from 9 am - 4 pm and located at 2933 Barrett Station Road, Kirkwood, MO 63122.
