CHRISTMAS TRAIN PT2

The Christmas train has arrived and is now on the siding. Time for Santa to make his appearance!

And Santa does, indeed, make his appearance. As he steps off the festively painted caboose, Bill, Mark Davis, and the rest of the gang welcome him to Hillsdale Yard. Of course, Santa's two helpers on the caboose platform probably do a better job of boosting morale among the men than he does!

The first of the children rush towards Santa, as their caretakers look on. Today's visit benefits the Hillsdale House; a local home for orphaned and abandoned kids.


Stephanie talks with Santa. Other kids are on the way, but right now, she has him all to herself!



A minute later, the other kids line up. The first one, Brian, reaches into his pocket for his wish list!


One of the kids, Lee, waves to the engineer, as two yardmen look on. Kids love trains almost as much as they do Santa!
