The Belton, Grandview and Kansas City Railroad (SHRX) is short line passenger railroad and museum located in Belton, Missouri. It operates as a heritage railroad, on what was once the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, on the Kansas City to Springfield branch. With the merger of the Frisco with the Burlington Northern, the line was partially sold to Kansas City Southern North of 155th Street, The north of the line is used once a year when tree trimming/weed spraying takes place, The tracks are bad but still can be used, The bridge is still there past Markey Road but with missing ties, With the southernmost portion from Peculiar, MO. to Clinton, MO. being scrapped and abandoned. This left the remaining trackage of a few miles connecting Grandview and Belton, Missouri. It currently operates a 1952 GM GP 9 locomotive, which is used to pull an excursion train. Also included in the collection are various locomotives, cars and equipment.
