My only complaint is that it arrives a little too early for the overall "holiday spirit" but I guess it would be a little strange to postpone it to the January issue. Hey...maybe I just hit on an idea for another annual special issue, call it Holiday 20XX and keep the December issue normal.
Jay,
Why dont you wait til about the 22nd or 23rd of Dec to open the magazine,then it would be more Christmasy to you just at the right moment !
The Joel Jensen story of BNSF's Montana Division - especially the reference to the Howdy Hotel in Forsyth - seen that many times over the decades when traveling to/from Miles City from Billings, Red Lodge, etc.
Wish I had a camera when I first saw a coal train running east through Miles City - pulled by a set of NP F units (this was 1969).

The December issue is almost always my favorite issue each year. Always seem to have RR vs the elements articles, corporate heart/pride stories, as well as personal tales of the holidays.

The Peter A. Hansen story of the Kansas City Southern's Christmas Train. A seasonal heartwarmer in my opinion.
Jeff Mast's story on the 1225... Any story/pictures of Lima's Berks is good !
