Tis The Season

At Christmas time some Metro drivers decorate
their trains. Decorations consist mainly of fake
snow but that's OK. Seeing a Christmas train is
like seeing a money train which is a train that
runs through the system collecting the money from
the fare machines. It is empty except for the
employees who push the money vaults around and
the 2-3 armed guards who step out of the train
and stand on the platform until the vaults are
back in the train. I have not seen a Christmas
train or a money train in a long time. But some
of the station managers also decorate. Joe took
this at the Friendship Heights station.

I am almost ready for Christmas. I leave for SC on Thursday. Hopefully the weather will stay good and we will all get there on time.
