A Christmas Eve to remember! The weather forecasters didn't predict a white xmas for us here in Mendota, or at
least until it began to fall. When the evening began, the snow started to fly, and what a difference it made in my mood. I
was especially happy for the kids everywhere who witnessed the beautiful sight.
I thought it would be a good opportunity to do some night time photography around the depot. I braved the elements
to bring you these pictures of Christmas Eve 2002. Ray Tutaj Jr.
