MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Train of Life (unknown Author)
At birth, we boarded the train of life and met our parents, and we believed that they would always travel by our side. However, at some station, our parents would step down from the train, leaving us on life's journey alone.
As time goes by, some significant people will board the train: siblings, other children, friends, and even the love of our life.
Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we won't realize that they vacated their seats! This train ride has been a mixture of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
A successful journey consists of having a good relationship with all passengers, requiring that we give the best of ourselves. The mystery that prevails is that we do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. Thus, we must try to travel along the track of life in the best possible way -- loving, forgiving, giving, and sharing.
When the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty -- we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who continue to travel on the train of life.
Let’s remember to thank our Creator for giving us life to participate in this journey.
I close by thanking you for being one of the passengers on my train!
May the message of Christmas fill your life with love, hope, joy and peace. Best wishes to you and your family during this holiday season!

Thanks.
Yes. It's a couple of Rivarossi docksides, a Roco ore jenny, a scratch built flat car with a boiler I got out of a junk box at a swap meet, an MDC shorty coach and a Mantua bobber caboose converted to a 4-axle caboose with a salvaged frame.
The ore car carries non-gem-quality topaz that I mined on a rock hounding outing with a friend out in western Utah. I like the way it reflects the Christmas tree lights.
Track is just a 3-foot section of flex track bent around in a circle and nailed to plywood.
