Title:  "Holiday Train/Holiday Train/Holiday Train Rock"
Description:  "Holiday Train/Holiday Train/Holiday Train Rock"; watched by a gaggle of onlookers, the westbound Canadian Pacific Holiday Train approaches Chesire Parkway on a gray December afternoon. Trains still can be a draw in this day and age, no?

Elk River
Title:  Elk River
Description:  The Holiday Train rolls off the Elk River Bridge to the thundering sound of clicking shutters from the assembled fans. The other side of the bridge is the scenic shot, but even late in the day this time of year, the sun doesnt come around. Still, a good shot.

CP #2246
Title:  CP #2246
Description:  CP #2246 is encroaching on the KCS' Southern Belle F9's and Rudy's "Holiday Express" territory as the GP20 brings the first ever CPKC "Holiday Train" into the southern states. Rudy and the F9's were constrained to Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas this year. Both trains were impressive in their own ways.

Finally
Title:  Finally
Description:  I had gone out to see the CPKC Holiday Train, the original plan was to pick it up at Noel, then follow it south til the light went. I got distracted along the way, first by a southbound grain move almost as soon as I left the house, then when I got to Decatur and the southbound signal was green at Roller Av. I decided to wait there, instead of working against the train, rather than risk missing it. Turned out the signal was for a southbound grain move that was working Georges Farms just to the north, and the Holiday Train was delayed at McElhany due to an incident requiring police involvement, and would be released around 1630. At 1715, it finally showed here, passing the stuffed and mounted F 7 here, also adorned with lights.
