THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN PT2

The Christmas train is here! But not for long...

Santa's on board, and the train is leaving the 'station'!

A comparison of the two engines. Red and green, 12-25, Season's Greetings, Merry Christmas!

A last look at the engines as they leave town.

As usual, the Operation Lifesaver gon is in the consist, loaded with a tree for display.The red car in front of is the Santa Claus coal car.

The crew car for this year's train is the sleeper car 'Kansas City'.

The Christmas Train is made complete by the Christmas cars produced by Kadee, seen here. These represent 3 of the past 5 years' cars; I didn't get this year's car.

Waving goodbye from the caboose is the other 'Santa's helper'. After the train exits the yard, she'll head inside, and probably head up into the cupola for the view -especially since the other side windows have been plated over!
