Hello all, we hope you all are enjoying this holiday season! We've got some additional work done over the winter break, with Industries Part 1 coming to the Patreon this week to close out the year. Much of the team is currently spending time with family and friends today, but we wanted to drop these here as a little christmas gift for y'all: Firstly, our flagstop video on our 1913 Ford Model T inspection car from the Rio Grande Southern Railroad is now public! We are joined by researcher Brett, who shares his experience restoring and driving a Ford Model TT truck and how he was able to contribute to making this neat little piece of railroading history come to life!

The timeless piece Greensleeves dates all the way back to the 1500s, but was adapted into the carol "What Child is This" in 1871, so it's technically in era! We hope you enjoy this rendition of Greg Booth's arrangement of the tune for Dobro, Fiddle, and Upright Bass, with more festive tunes to come as part of our house band Burnahm & Run's winter setlist!
May you all find peace, comfort and joy to close out this year, and we'll see you all again in 2026 with a huge industry and commodities update!
