Putting a bow on 2023

Reporter photo by Stu Clampitt

The Nickel Plate Express (NPX) held a pre-Christmas party for the train’s family and friends last week. Yes, we know that sentence structure makes the odd implication that the train itself has a family, but we’re calling that the magic of Christmas. At the end of a night of fun, food, camaraderie, and comedy, everyone was kind enough to pose for this photo for The Reporter. This embodies the best that Hamilton County and the holiday season both have to offer, so we had to put it on the front of our Christmas edition. If you have not yet enjoyed the themed excursions and world-class hospitality of NPX, go to NickelPlateExpress.com and buy some tickets. If you survived your own Christmas, you deserve a treat!
