On the cloudy morning of December 5th, 2023, Metro-North Railroad's annual Holiday Train coasts past the remains of the "Hole Track" Ramp while traversing the New Haven Line in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The "Hole Track" ramp was controlled by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad's Burr Road Tower (SS55) and provided local freights access to a plethora of street-level customers along the Railroad Avenue Industrial District in western Bridgeport.

Metro-North's Holiday Train consists of two 40th Anniversary heritage-wrapped P32AC-DM locomotives (MNCW 208 in Beach Ball & MNCW 211 in New York Central) sandwiching Metro North's "business" coaches. It usually runs for two to three weeks during the month of December every year with upper management, stopping at all crew sign-up & mechanical locations to hand out small gifts and say thank you to the railroad's employees.
