Gaylor Electric is bringing the holiday spirit earlier this year with the installation of Christmas lights on the Nickel Plate Express (NPX).
A team from Gaylor Electric spent three days to install over 2,200 LED Christmas lights along the exterior of the NPX train to prepare for the upcoming Reindeer Express that will begin on Nov. 19.
“I am confident our illuminated train will be a gorgeous sight as it rolls through northern Hamilton County this season,” NPX Director Emily Reynolds said. “Gaylor Electric has been incredible to work with. They have been prepared and professional every step of the way. We are grateful for their sponsorship.”
