Is everybody happy? It certainly appears so, judging from the reactions of those who came out for our Happy Holiday Railway trains yesterday, in spite of the frightening weather.
It takes a lot of people to make this operation a success. Santa and the elves do most of the public relations sort of things, because they're the professionals, but there are lots of IRM members who were there shoveling snow, running the train, and so on. I didn't even get a crew picture this time. Jamie was the engineer, with Sam Polonetzky the conductor and Larry Stone and myself as trainmen. You've seen us all before. And I'm not sure who does all the decorating, but they certainly do an excellent job.
The diner annex is nicely decorated. This is used by visitors waiting for their train.
And non-stop humor and song were being provided by the Oscar Levant of IRM, Bob Opal.
Ticket sales are going very well this year, and we all need to make sure we continue to provide a rewarding experience for our visitors, both young and old.
