Southbound In The Snow |
| Description: |
The first significant snowstorm of the year was already in full swing by the time the CP Holiday Train hove into view at the CP/UP diamond in Golden Valley. The snow, however, greatly added to the holiday spirit of the spectacle. |

The Holiday Train At The Diamond |
| Description: |
The Canadian Pacific Holiday train approaches the diamond on the MNS Spur with the Union Pacific's Golden Valley Industrial Lead on a snowy Saturday afternoon in early December. The train was running a bit late to its next engagement due to being thirty minutes late in New Hope, its first of three stops on the spur. Next stop: Golden Hills Drive in Golden Valley. Incidentally, the engineer was repeatedly blowing short blasts on the air horn to greet the small group gathered at the diamond to watch the train's passing. |
