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.

The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.

ECRX 1457 is an EMD SW14, originally built as a SW7 in June 1950 as Illinois Central 9407, then upgraded to SW14 as ICG 1457. This unit arrived at Casey Yard behind BNSF 4682, and ECRX 193 on train M-TEADYT1-30A. The two ECRX units are headed to Econorail in Baytown, Texas to most likely work one of the plants in the area.

'Come here,' said Turnbull, 'till you see the sadness
In the horse's eyes,
If you had such big hooves under you there'd be sadness
In your eyes too.'
It was clear that he understood so well the sadness
In the horse's eyes,
And had pondered it so long that in the end he'd plunged
Into the horse's mind.
I looked at the horse to see the sadness
Obvious in its eyes,
And saw Turnbull's eyes looking in my direction
From the horse's head.
I looked at Turnbull one last time
And saw on his face
Outsize eyes that were dumb with sadness –
The horse's eyes.
