    I grew up watching the Southern Railways EMD's as my favorites. Still like them! Wish some enterprising railroad would revive the car body style. Heck, stranger things have happened!
    Love that horn too!

    In early 2020 last year, I marked my calendar to go see the Santa Train. Shame it didn't run, but this is an awesome throwback! Good job filming the crowds too, since that's what this train is about. It's gonna be hard to top the 50th and 75th trips, wonder what they'll do for the 100th?

    All four engines are studs and the passenger cars are stellar in their cleanliness. That's the kind of attention UP's Big Boy garnered in my old stomping grounds a year or so ago. You couldn't stir folks with a stick. Parking was bumper to bumper.

      @JawTooth  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Last year I was in that huge crowd chasing the Big Boy out west. I chased Big Boy from Evanston Wyoming to Ogden, Utah and back. I have never seen so many railfans in my life. I was set to do that again this year but it got cancelled of course. Next year I am going to chase Big Boy out west again no matter what!!

The staff and volunteers are pure gold, bringing holiday cheer to very underserved communities in Southern Appalachians. Nicely captured Union Baptist Church in Dante and Cooper River - Holston Viaduct, as well. Hopefully, we will see a resergance next year(2021).

    We have our Santa Train on the Indiana Railroad. It is a three day trip with approximately ten stops in small towns in Indiana and Illinois. Each stop last anywhere from an hour up to an hour and a half. There are about 20 to 30 characters that get off of the train at each stop to interact with the crowd wile the children and parents get on the train to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. For those in need new winter coats are given to children as well as toys and candy. It is a blast being a part of it.
