Seaboard Coast Line B23-7 #5153 has pulled in front of the Yard Office |
| Description: |
Long-time SCL engineer John Douglas, in white jacket, is preparing to dismount his locomotive for the final time, EVER. John Douglas always managed to be at the controls of the Wadley Turn on the last Saturday before each Christmas, amazingly on the very same day that Santa Claus always managed to be on the train as well. John's (and Santa's) replacement, John Kierbow, is exiting the cab while trainmaster A. K. Conner leans out the fireman's window |

For his final Santa Train, engineer John Douglas timed the run to coincide with his retirement. In later years, John Kierbow (in light brown jacket) would bear a striking resemblence to Santa at the controls of the Santa Train |
