As the camel reminds us, today is "hump day" or Wednesday, and the Christmas holiday season is in full swing. Santa Trains are nearly everywhere. Park trains on display are getting the royal treatment with lights, and other ways of celebrating with trains has begun.
Here are a few I caught the past few days.
Last Wednesday, about 6 inches of snow fell in my corner of Pennsylvania. The warm ground melted it shortly after it stopped falling. But the snow accents on display trains at Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton added to the festive arrival of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train on Thanksgiving.
This Brill Bullet car from Philadelphia is on display at the Electric City Trolley Station and Museum. I don't think she has ever looked so nice to my eyes.
I don't have any decent photos of the Holiday Train to share with you. Perhaps someone else caught the train as it stopped in their home town.
I dis catch the Scranton Limited train, on the right, traveling through the snow on a sunny Friday last week. It passed display engine Reading RS3 number 467 and her train of freight cars.
Union Pacific 4012 in her dusting of snow looks right for the season.
And New Haven Trap Rock 0-4-0T gets in the swing of things wearing her wreath.
That is all I have for now. Happy holidays! Now get out there and take a photo or two of railroads helping us bring out a bit of the meaning of Christmas.
Enjoy!
. So these wear taken on 12-03-14.
