Off Goes the Santa Train
Title:  Off Goes the Santa Train
Description:  The annual "Railmen for Children" Santa Train departs Hoboken for Newark, The Oranges, Denville and Montclair with a trainload of children from schools all across the area. The children aboard this train are treated with gifts, music, food and a visit from Santa. The entire trip is made possible by the employee operated Railmen for Children charity and cooperation by NJ Transit who has been providing a train to the event every year since 1983. The equipment used and the people involved have changed over the years but one thing remains the same: The Santa Drumhead. This hand-painted drumhead has been affixed to the cab car of every Railmen for Children Santa Train since the very beginning and will continue to make its annual appearance for many years to come!

Waiting in the Snow
Title:  Waiting in the Snow
Description:  The snow is falling at Kingsland Station and a few chilled passenger watch as Train #1205 rolls into the unique DL&W station. As the sound of dynamic brakes screaming filled the air the westbound train met Train #54 from Port Jervis, NY with almost a perfect head side-by-side.
