Christmas tree trains keep on chugging tradition endures
NEW YORK AP Chris Forsyth recalls a train around the Christmas tree with a conductor's hat and overalls as his best memory. Electric trains date to the early 1900s while wind-up and push trains preceded them. In the 1920s to 1940s a train set could cost as much as a washing machine, making it a prized gift. Trains symbolize family gatherings and holiday returns, per historian Paul Race and author Ron Hollander.
