2024 Conrail (CSAO) Santa Train at Union with NS 8098 & NJT 4208 FT: Hornshow & Mutiple Shots

Hey Everyone! Yesterday, on Saturday, December 21st, I went to NJT Union Station on the Raritan Valley Line so I could catch the annual Conrail Santa Train passing through. Even though the Santa Train was not scheduled to pass until around 5:00 P.M. I decided to get there at 2:00 P.M. so I could do some railfanning and hopefully catch some freight. I was in luck as I caught four freight along with the regularly scheduled NJT trains. Stay tuned for the video with the NJT & Freight (CSX & NS) coming soon featuring awesome hornshows!

This year was my first year seeing the annual Conrail (CSAO) Santa Train, and it was awesome in my opinion. NS ES44AC #8098 & NJTR GP40PH-2B #4208 lead the train, both of which are Conrail Heritage Units. Also, making up the train was an NJTR Comet V coach, two flatcars, & a Conrail caboose all decorated in lights and christmas decorations. The crew gave a good hornshow at Union for all of us railfans filming. A Conrail Hi railer pickup truck also followed the Santa Train, and was also decorated in lights and had a Grinch+Max The Dog inflatable on the back. I look forward to maybe catching the train again next year. Thanks to my dad, I got footage of the Santa Train from three different angles (both ends of the platform and a low angle)
