Great American Steam Locomotives: Articulateds DVD
Articulateds capture the heart and minds of anyone who comes out to see them.
This year is the 48th year of the Santa Train. It started out as an Illinois Central tradition running between local towns from Rantoul, IL to Kankakee, IL. As railroad rules and traffic changed, it was moved away from the main line and onto the Gilman sub, with a new list of towns. This is the first year CN is not doing the traditional IC Santa Train, choosing instead to do a modified version intended for employees, family, and friends.
This “decades-old tradition” is news to me. Can someone alleviate my ignorance with a brief history? Is CP getting too much of the glory? Since it’s on CN, will it run 15 hours late? Just curious.
