Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays To All!

Hey everyone! It’s time for my annual “Christmas Card” to everyone so here it comes. It’s a VERY Christmasy video shot by a VERY talented young railfan videographer up in New Jersey and I hope you enjoy it!

Another classic by the late Ed Blysard:

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the yard,
All the switchmen were switching, some working quite hard.

The grips were all hung by the shanty with care,
In the hopes that a time slip would soon show up there.

The trainmasters were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of test failures danced in their heads.

The hogger in his kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a sneaky quick nap.

When out in the yard there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from our motor to see “what’s the matter?”

Away from the cab

You did it again! Ed reallywas quite the poet and writer. Good to see his work on the site. Ed was one of a kind and a pleasure to know.
