It's a little early for this, but here goes...... Twas the night before Christmas and all down the track, not a spike was shaking, not even a track.
Then all of a sudden a light just apeared, it wasn't rudolf after all this year. 
A AC4400 I said, as I ran for my camera, But it felt like I was running to Alabama.
I finnily got it, I said to myself, and I thought I had saw a little Elf.
It can't be I screamed, as I spun around, almost dropping the camera on the ground.
The AC4400 was pulling a train that would shine in the rain.
It was covered with lights like I never saw before.
As the train sped up the engineer waved, but I was in my truck trying to start it in the rain.
I fired it up and took of Like an F-16 on takeoff.
I got to the crossing just in time, as the gate bells started to chime.
I shot a whole role as the train came by, and then the camera batterys started to die.
I watched the last car as it rolled by, watching the light blink in my eyes.
So much for that I said to myself, until next year I won't be by myself.
The train chugged on into the night, at that point I lost track of the Blinking red light.
