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. |

The Holiday Train, to my great delight, stopped short of the Ark 12 overpass, allowing some shots from above. These are a sequence-note the reindeer on the side of the engine. |

From the bridge, No 4 |
| Description: |
The reindeer has now reached the front of the engine, and the process will now repeat. He'll be rolling south once the 181 passes, which will happen in a moment. Ill head home and pick up my wife, and well watch it roll through Siloam Springs. I had originally hoped to catch the train in daylight, but seeing it in twilight and after dark was way better. |
