The Christmas Train

Hebe, Catherine, Catie, Arta
The CPR Christmas Train is in the background.

Finally, the Jarvis family are the first ones to see the Canadian Pacific Railroad Christmas train.

Catherine heard that it would be stopping at a station close to where we live.

The night was perfect.

The snow was softly falling and could be seen floating to the ground through beams of the street lights. I saw a woman putting out her tongue, trying to catch flakes of snow on it.

Families were there with their small children, whose hats carried reindeer ears.  Many people were carrying tins for the Food Bank. 

Collin James and Emily Lee were the Canadian artists on stage belting out tunes as only they know how to do.

... the wreath on the back of the caboose
as it was pulling out of the station ...

Eric and I walked back from the van for a last look at the caboose as it pulled out of the station headed for its next stop.

We saw the performers going to the dinning car.

Their table has already been set and they were taking off their jackets and sitting down for their supper.

Now that is getting a close up look at the Christmas Train.
