Granddad Jack’s 1930 Wattsview Christmas Rail Ride

Gloria Fleury recalls a 1930 Eve morning as section foreman at Wattsview. He and crew Cooper Leaming Arnold patrol rails by handcar delivering mail and provisions to St Lazare crossing by 2:00 p.m. They shop, rest by the heated station, and face a snowbound dash home in biting cold with the “Happy Thought” heater and looming darkness.

Christmas Rescue on Rails in December Snow

In a perilous winter scene a steam locomotive threatens a group in a snowy ditch. Granddad and Cooper lift a car off the rails as Arnold and Leaming move a loaded hand car. They salvage mail, parcels, and Christmas provisions while winds howl and the engine stops. The splash of cargo flying through the air marks a dramatic Christmas misfortune and narrow survival.
