I took Jay (5) and Charlie (4) to Conway last weekend for the employees Christmas open house. They had a lot of fun and they both agreed that getting a turn on the locomotive simulator was the highlight. I didn't know that thing was even still down there. They also got to visit Santa and eat donuts and stuff. Hahahaha, great, sugared up kids. Anyway here are a couple pics and a link to a video.

I've seen those rascals somewhere before!
I wish our railroad did something similar at our equally-vital-and-probably-as-populated-with-employees yard. Of course, there's no simulator like that around here--CNW's moved around in a "mobile home" and probably was retired by UP. I did it a time or two, and so did one of my daughters.

Hi Nora
I'll bet that is much more fun than just going over to see Santa at the mall.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from another (much older) Jay
