Our photo essay includes still photos of the advancing and then passing freight.

In addition, we took a video of the train, which was pulling oil cars - we lost track of the number - in a fast freight through Ada.

Ruth Roider sets a candy cane tree on the piano as she decorates her house for the Candy Cane Tour.

Ruth's two-story home, built about 1905, will feature a number of trees because she loves trees. However, only one tree will be lit.
