Here was the returning full house Santa Express Train shoving across Main Street Lincoln (NH 112) on a mild late November Saturday afternoon heading for the Station.

Two matching SW1000's provided the power, pushing four non-powered Budd RDC1's and two Lackawanna MU Coaches north from a southern end point of the 7.5 mile journey by the Jack-O-Lantern Resort in Thornton.

This lineup includes:
P&L 1012 (SW1000) Built new for BN in 1970
P&L 105 (SW1000) Built new for NOPB in 1971
RDC1 #9151 Coach seats (Ex Reading / SEPTA / MBTA)
RDC1 #9154 Coach seats (Ex Reading/ SEPTA / MBTA)
RDC1 #6148 Table car (Ex B&M / MBTA - "Boise Budd" prototype)
RDC1 #9159 Table car (Ex Reading/ SEPTA / MBTA)
MU #1002 "Alpine" Table car (Ex DLW / EL / CR / NJT)
MU #1004 "Mountain View" Table Car (Ex DLW / EL / CR / NJT)

Even Santa and Mrs. Claus were sighted taking a ride, they looked they were having a good time, the reindeer were reportedly tied down at the Station.. ;)
