When it comes to the holidays, rail helps deliver the cheer!

With so many holidays ahead, there’s a lot of merriment to be had. And while you probably have a good idea for how you’d like to celebrate, did you know many of the items that make up your feasts, gifts, decorations and parties shipped by rail? Here are a few (don’t miss the video below!).

Holiday Feasts
