Christmas Trains...

The 2012 Christmas Trains were held on December 8th and 9th, and the weather could not have been better. Ridership was good, we had a lot of support from Sumpter, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. For 2013 we will be offering two weekends for Christmas Trains, the last weekend of November and the first weekend of December, with a night train on December 14th for the Sumpter tree lighting and parade.

 Dawn at McEwen, the temperature is 9 degrees.

The sun is just hitting the peaks of the Elkhorn Mountains.

John Rollins rides the pilot as the passenger train is made up for the first run of the day.

 Santa is at the station to greet the train and get your Christmas lists.

 Number 3 departs Sumpter in a cloud of steam and smoke.

The last train arrives in McEwen just as the snow begins to fall.
