The National Academy of Railroad Sciences (NARS) is part of the Johnson County Community College in Johnson County, Kansas (the southwest quadrant of the Kansas City metropolitan area). We got off the Zephyr in Omaha where a friend of Bill's picked us up and drove us on to Kansas City. The next day, Bill and Jamie (representing the PB&JRR, of course) toured the NARS. The switches and signals lab. Another view in one of the signals and switches room. They used g-scale equipment to teach some material. Engineering simulator. Coupling, crane, brakes, etc.
