.......Wow.....It's great to look back at those holiday adds especially while the trains were still a main source of moving passengers across this great land....

Nice display of them.

Having just worked on our "Polar Express" trains, I can say that regardless of the circumstances, there's something about trains and the holidays. 

It had to be especially nice to go down to the local train station to greet Uncle Harry, instead of driving to an airport an hour or more away.
