Santa Rocket Debut

MDRY 8250, still wearing the paint of the defunct Midland Railway, trails on the end of this passenger run on Rock Island's new subsidiary Ottawa Northern. The train consisted of Midland Railway's former primary power, MDRY GP20 4079 (formerly SP 7229) in the lead and MDRY GP10 8250 (formerly IC 9250) trailing on the rear. The Santa Rocket slowly made its debut run on the former-ATSF rail line between Baldwin City, Kansas, and Norwood, Kansas and back during the first snowstorm of the cold season.
