Remarks & Notes 
The days grow short when you reach December... Just about 30 minutes before official sunset, Valley Railroad Consolidation #97 takes the railroad's 3rd North Pole Express (TM) trip of the day across the little trestle spanning Chester Creek, as it heads into North Chester, Connecticut, with a load of early season revelers. In this view from about 100 ft. of altitude, the Hays Haven Marina and Pattaconk Yacht Club are visible behind the train, with the Connecticut River beyond. With the Valley Railroad's trains operating at precise, 30-minute intervals, the sun will be below the horizon by the time the next one heads north through here.
