Santa has always been a huge steam fan, but even he saw the handwriting
on the wall WRT the fate of steam power, and so in 1936 he ordered one
of the first mass-produced diesels, an EMD SW.   The "S" stood for 600
HP (why, I don't know),

That's obvious - 6 starts with "S" 8?)

You can see the Santa Special here:

Very nice! Why be limited by 8-wide, when you can build 9-wide???!!!!!

Hope you enjoy it and have a Merry Christmas!

Likewise yourself!

Although Santa's big night out is Christmas Eve, he also does a lot of pre-Christmas traveling as well. Many children to write Santa, informing him of their wants for Christmas, but many choose to visit him at malls to deliver their lists (...)
