The weekend before Christmas found me in central Michigan for the final ‘North Pole Express’ excursions of the season. Follow the link above to my photos.

These trains of 900+ patrons per run were sold out months in advance; instead of highlighting the joyous families dressed in pajamas headed to the North Pole (Ashley, MI) - I chose to concentrate on simple compositions featuring the locomotive and the winter elements it’s subjected to.

Notice the difference a day and a small detail make. For Sunday the illuminated ‘1225’ number boards were added above the headlight.

There is a Tim Horton’s very close to the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso; they serve a really fine cup of hot cocoa…

Enjoy,
Matthew
