Festive Switcher

Detroit Edison 203 is draped in colorful Christmas lights once again on a foggy Christmas Eve. 203 was built by Baldwin in 1923, first working at Detroit Edison's Delray plant. It was transferred to Conners Creek and then finally Marysville in 1949. It shuffled coal cars around the Mighty Marysville until 1958 when it was donated to the city's park. Since then its mysteriously lost its headlight and numberplate on the smokebox, but nonetheless its kept up appearances with a repaint back in 2017. The Boy Scouts of America sponsor the locomotive's festive decor each year as it sits amongst the park's colorful array of lights.
