First you see santa. Then you see what he is hauling. I guess it is what he is going to kids who have tresspassed on UP’s right of way.
Enjoy.
It’s the same picture - what’s the point?
I dunno about you, but if you ask me-- these days if you get a train-load of coal for Christmas you musta done something good!
I must have missed something in the translation to Awstraliun, or am I a bit thick?

I think I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue!
mmmm—wonder how much Anthracite goes for now-----
-------or is that Bituminous?
I’ll second that one…
???
Don’t get it.
At Christmas, Santa is supposed to check his list of good vs. naughty children and bring all the bad boys and girls a lump of coal…
I’m with Greg… [%-)]
I understand bad kids/lump of coal, but why the same picture twice?
I believe this photo should have been the 1st link in his post:

Another photo in the same album.
Now it should make more sense.
Just checked a coal industry website for commodity prices. Week of 12/11 averaged around $50.00 per short ton. 5000 ton train carries $250k of coal. Not bad for naughty.
My apologies everyone. I just got a new laptop and didn’t copy and paste the links correctly[oops]
(looks at corrected links)
LOL, It makes sense now, Santa should have leased from BNSF, they have prettier paint. [:-^]
