Seaboard Coast Line B23-7 #5153 with inbound train SCL #587, The Wadley Turn, arrives with Santa's Train
Long-time SCL engineer John Douglas, eases his locomotive to a stop for the final time, EVER. John Douglas always managed to be at the controls of the Wadley Turn on the last Saturday before each Christmas, amazingly on the very same day that Santa Claus always managed to be on the train as well.
