Rob & Roosso,

There are a number farms in WW&F territory that have horses. This pair from the Verney farm has worked for the narrow gauge for years.
They pull the sleigh for the Victorian Christmas event each year so it was natural to have them work the rail train.
Their normal job is twitching logs out of the Maine woods so I doubt they made a trip to PA for the Lerro charter.
