Santa Comes Early. The MTA Metro-North Railroad Holiday Train made its final trip for the season on Tuesday, December 13, 2022. The train visits employees at their work locations at the larger yards, and managers ride so that they can drop off the holiday gift and snacks. MNCW P32AC-DMs 211 and 231 (New Haven Tribute) bracketed the traditional Office Cars. The end cars are observation cars ex-DLW from "The Phoebe Snow" while the middle car is an ex-NYC Empire Service coach. These cars serves other purposes the rest of the year, including for Geometry and Inspection Trains and in the past have been available for charters as well. The train is crossing Annsville Creek in Peekskill, New York on its way to the Croton Harmon Yard.
