MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Holiday Train continues its trek eastward to D.C. Here, the two GE 70-tonners lead the way.
The traditional pine tree is loaded in the gondola. The following hopper has "snow", but the Santa Claus Coal Express car is missing. Political correctness?
The usual string of Christmas boxcars are in the mix, including this one. While most trains don't run on Christmas, this one definitely does! Brad and Chris may be on the job this holiday, but 1) it's only for 4 hours, and 2) they're getting paid triple-time!
Also getting paid are the train crew, including "Santa's helper" waiving from the caboose platform. The extra money is just compensation for wearing her Santa outfit -including a short mini-skirt!
This weekend will be a busy time, with college bowl games and the New Year's celebration. Stay tuned...
And meantime, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
