Santa Likes Trains Too
Title:  Santa Likes Trains Too
Description:  On passenger car PESX 5061 on the Fayette Central Railroad. I am posting this photo in remembrance of all the victims of the recent school shooting in Newport, CT, who will not be around to see Santa Claus this year or to receive the gifts their families bought for them. I hope the coming year will bring more peace and kindness to our world.
