Good day everyone, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and you whole families!!! :-)

Now, get that egg nog, hot chocolate, hot coffee (or some good rum) and join me for my own spin on a Christmas jingle!!! C'mon folks, gather 'round now, gather 'round!!! Now while I may have posted these shots before (and some of them I didn't), they are simply fitting for the holiday and season!!!!

And it goes a little something like this........

(Ahem!! Clears the throat.....)

Dashing thru the snow........
In train, and not a sleigh.......

Now that's clever...and I liked your personal credit. Always look out for oneself first.

Good job.

Thank you, Dave!!! :-)

Only wish MNR or one of our rail agencies here ran a holiday train even remotely close to the niceness of the one CTA ran there in Chicago!! Now that plus some snow would be extremely photo-worthy!!! :-)

But it gets the job done, and on that day I shot that photo, it was rescuing a crapped out 9 car electric train, Train #1514, which went belly up just down the road new New Rochelle (I shot at Larchmont).

And it is better than a BL-Shit!!!
