Texas State Railroad staff members pose with Santa Barbara, Calif. residents Bill and Victoria Strong and their 20-month-old daughter Gwendolyn Tuesday morning at the Palestine Depot in front of The Little Engine That Could™. A media event to raise awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) was held as part of the Strong’s 5,000 mile “Sponsor-A-Mile to End SMA” drive which included a stop in Palestine. Gwendolyn suffers from SMA.
