Train Conductor Makes Special Delivery to 12-Year-Old LDS Autistic Boy

“I don’t know how it started, but he just absolutely loves them,” Aaron Mancil, Matthew’s father, said.

On Thursday, Matthew got the surprise of a lifetime when a train conductor for Union Pacific made a special delivery just for him.
