Houston Matters

On Thursday's show: The death of a teen killed while crossing train tracks on his way to Milby High School has reignited calls for accountability and oversight of Union Pacific. The country’s largest rail company has now announced it will limit train operations near the school during traditional drop off and pickup hours.

Also this hour: In this month's installment of The Bigger Picture, we reflect on Christmas movies over the years and what they say about America at the time they came out.

And we ride The Polar Express train ride in Galveston.
