The festivities are over - the Holiday train is parked for the night and the grey cup ended in sorrow for Hamilton fans. While children sleep dreaming of Santa, the adults imbibe with alcohol to sooth wounds after the nights loss to the Stampeders. Yet for some reason I was still out and about photographing the CPR Holiday train at the west end of the former TH&B Aberdeen yard at 11 PM. Why do we do this anyway? When do we get our grey cup? Do we win anything? hahah.
