50 th anniversary at Rural Retreat

[NW Mailing List]

"“Christmas Eve in Rural Retreat” is what he wanted us to remember: carols from the nearby church, the distant whistle and approach of The Pelican, and the wonderfully long departure as 603 continues into the night."

Ahhh, Christmas Eve and people wanting to get home for Christmas. For me, the dramatic thing that puts an exclamation mark on this recording is the sense of urgency. The train stops just barely long enough to discharge one passenger and then it's gone.
