East Broad Top Santa Trains 2009

This year, Santa Claus visited the EBT for the first time. Two trains ran Saturday afternoon, followed by a night train for riders to enjoy the lighted decorations along with their hot chocolate and cookies. Steam locomotive #15 was prepared for winter storage at the end of October, so GE 55-tonner M-7 was called on to pull the trains. Abraham Lincoln also delivered the Gettysburg Address from parlor car #20.

Thanks for posting this, Ray! I especially like that first scene.

While it's great to hear M7 has got her throat back... it's also great that she's using it in Nov. for a load of kids!

This is very good to see!!!

Great to see EBT running in November. Let's hope this is just the beginning of innovations. Thanks for posting, Ray.

EBT has run through the end of October since at least the year 2000.
