Nice photos Kevin, it was good to see you again.
I noticed a few things working at AC all day. There are visitors who have become Christmas regulars. They bring their kids each year, some on their 7th or 8th year. There are a few who have been 12 times. You recognize the parents but the children are so much bigger. I tended the bonfire and protected the crossing. I also went to the station a number of times to tend the stove. Inside, JB's friend Ali (sp?) had a table where kids made their own christmas decorations. One piece was a reindeer made from a clothespin. The kids loved it!
I spoke to many people who said they were enjoying the event - even during the heavy snow shower that came through. We had lots of local folks and a number from away. I talked with vistors from VT, NY, CT, MA and Canada. One lady told me she drove up from Boston just to ride the train. It was her first visit. All in all it was a very good day.

P.S. Special thanks to the kitchen crew for sending stew and sandiches up to AC. The food was delicious and the sodas kept real cold in my truck.
