Reflections on Delmarva's Past 
Mike
Many years ago when I was young My Mom & Dad took us to Delaware one night to see a Christmas tree near a railroad line. If I remember the name it was called the Jackson Holly Tree and it was supposed to have been decorated each year by railroad employees. Are you familiar with this? I have been unable to find any information about it and was wondering if it still exist.
Thanks in advance!

It’s still here and open this year. It’s a few miles into Maryland along the B & O Tracks, just before you get to the Susuqhanna River. Here are a few links to help you.
