 My children refuse to even go to bed on Christmas Eve until I have read them the "Polar Express" while the sounds of O. Winston Link's recording at Rural Retreat plays in the background. It has become a family tradition that we all enjoy.
   
   Living so close to Rural Retreat, this recording takes me on a personal journey as I can imagine this very train only minutes before sitting at the depot preparing to leave my hometown of Marion, Va. on its journey eastward toward Rural Retreat and into fame.
