Christmas |
| Description: |
A&R 309 is decked out with some Christmas lights. To the right is the ex SCL Union Station, to the far right, barely seen is the A&R main office. The concrete post to the right of the bare tree, and to the left of the Christmas tree, is a very old street light. The town of Aberdeen saved 15 of these and now have them in a park setting as seen here. These "used" to paralell Poplar Street and used as street lights, WAY before I was born...lol. |
