| The very first FEC holiday train, running for "Toys For Tots", has FEC President James Hertwig aboard playing Santa. Many of his staff played elves. The train ran from Jacksonville to Miami, making eight stops along the way. The Tropical container on the rear was used to hold the goodies. And, oh yeah!! The 2000 was dusted off (after almost two years dormant) to pull the special. The very first time I photographed this locomotive in this paint was right here in January 2000. |
