2016 GTW/CN Michigan Division Santa Train Battle Creek, Michigan
Author: Ron

Sunday, December 04, 2016.
The 2016 GTW/CN Michigan Division Santa Train, a few miles east of Battle Creek, Michigan, and working its way through the CN Battle Creek Yard.

There are two short videos combined into this one video. Taken about 25 minutes apart, and 5 miles from each other. And the snow started falling just before the second portion.

GTW 4915 IC 9565 West, Sunday, December 04, 2016, at about 2:00 PM. At Mulvaney Road/12 Mile Road - MP 185.21 CN Flint Subdivision, Pennfield Township, Calhoun County, Michigan.
GTW 4915 IC 9565 West, Sunday, December 04, 2016, at about 2:25 PM. Working its way through the Battle Creek Yard.

Looking good, Ron. We've got snow on the ground up
here in Mt Pleasant this morning. It may last a
few days, but probably won't be around for PM 1225
this coming weekend.

John.

I remember these trains from when I was a kid. Still think they looked better with blue GTW units on the head end. Times change.

I saw the train in Port Huron. Went thru Santas Car and shook Hands with the Big Guy himself. A lot of kids went thru the car also. The WX was very cold and windy. Been retired since 1995, so met very few people I used to work with. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

Is the heavyweight a parlor/buffet or diner type car?

The old CN scheme looks good, but the E unit version with the bubble for the CN "noodle" needs some work.

Thanks for posting.
