[:D][:D]9 shopping days left
has any one seen the christmas train that BNSF has.
My dad has some pictures of It but it was dark you can still make out
the loco and cab It was A BN GP-50 White face I belive the loco # Is 3124
Or 3157 Its to hard to tell they had a power house
(Cat diesel generator in boxcar) A flatcar with Santas workshop and Elves
A Passenger Car For In between stops And A BN caboose where Santa
would exit to see the kids he gave out RR safety coloring books and crayons
and took the kids wish list to the north pole for them and threw candy
And got back on and left for the next town It was the best thing to see
I hope to see it again

The BN/BNSF Christmas train, such that it was (modified flatcar & caboose), was stored at Alliance, NE near the old caboose servicing tracks. Haven't seen or heard about it for a while. It may no longer exist.....Did not see it there this summer while working that area near the new engine wye tracks.
