  • Saturday, December 9, 2017 started as a damp, gray, unpleasant day.
    Highlight was to be the 12 steam train round trips operated by the Valley Railroad in Essex, CT. The first Santa Special departed Essex at 9:30 in the morning, and the two train sets made 6 trips. It started snowing around 11:00, and by afternoon, everything was white! Then, at 3:00 PM, the first of 6 North Pole Express trains departed. These run mainly at night, and I was too tired and cold to stay until dark. Please enjoy your visit.

    I remember riding number 3,025 train when I was four years old. The train use to work for the Knox and Kane Railroad and was #58 in Kane, Pennsylvania. It's great to see they brought it back to life after she was in a Roundhouse fire back in 2008. Miss that old steam engine. "Take care of her please Valley Railroad!"

    Wonderful images. Good work. Enjoyed the video very much. The scene at Hadlyme crossing was picture postcard worthy as the engine reached the little station house just before the crossing.

    Mid-winter? That was filmed in the late fall if it was actually filmed on December 9th! But nonetheless, what a storm that hit Connecticut yesterday; so early in December.
