Returning to the North Pole via Chaney Jct
After its round trip for military families from the Amtrak Station to West Jct and back, UP's 2023 Houston Toys for Tots train unloaded its merry passengers and did a quick crew change.
Here, with the new crew aboard, the Santa train is shoving west from the Amtrak Station through Chaney Jct. After clearing the control point, TD2 will throw the switch and the train will hop onto the Freight Main (to the right) in order to head out of town back to Santa's Workshop (or in this case, Council Bluffs).
