An unusual sight

Not a common sight I have to say in our township today. Dashed out from the ticket office to get this pic so no time to talk to the girl and perhaps get her on the back of this huge beast. Even the wee dog is dressed up.
Beautiful day for the running of the train today. Lots of happy children and adults. Always nice when the littlies come up excitedly and tell you about their ride. Looking forward to a day tomorrow doing things for myself
