Rounding the curve on the scenic Mount Vincent descent from Stoney Creek, an eastbound 50-car potash train makes its way down from Stoney Creek, passing above Mars Valley on a cold winter day in late December.

Nearly a month earlier at the same location, this version of the RHJ Rail Christmas Holiday Train makes a nighttime descent from Stoney Creek. Note that there is much less snow at this earlier time of the year.

The annual Christmas Holiday Train is stopped for a performance at Bow City East. The stage car has flashing external lighting, a folding side door, a group of performers and, of course, Santa Claus. Interior lighting has both flood lights and variable coloured spot lights. Appropriate seasonal music is played automatically.

The circus train extra is running late (again) because it has to yeild to regular traffic on the RHJ Rail home layout. (Click image for a video to see it in action - F11 for full screen)

Recently, at Arrow Park Historical Village, the park acquired a large Ferris Wheel. This replaced the previous small childrens' ride and has attracted many more customers to the park. The park is at the southern end of the 42-foot long layout, quite some distance from the winter village of Mars Valley, above).
