The Polar Express at Texas State RR in Palestine, Tx. 12/18/2010 © HD

TSR steam engine 300 and diesels 7 & 8 did the honors. The north pole was again set up at the Jarvis wye. This year didnt seem to be as decorated well as last year, but Santa boarded the train and the steam engine pulled us back. The usual hot chocolate and treat was enjoyed by many!
