Shelly’s Locomotive Brings Santa to Town
Denny Krohn, manager of a Shelly Materials yard, and Bob Rohal, locomotive engineer for Shelly Materials, delivered Santa Claus to
the Northeast Ohio town of Kent this past holiday season. Bob and
his wife, Cathy, festively decorated Shelly's locomotive to deliver the
jolly old elf to the annual Festival of Lights. This is the third year they
have provided this service, and they have been asked to save Dec.
4, 2010, for Santa's return.
Lori Wemhoff, executive director of the Kent Area Chamber
of Commerce, one of the event sponsors said, "The joy and
excitement exhibited by all the children when the locomotive
made that last turn before stopping at Main Street brought a
tear to my eye."
When Bob isn’t transporting Santa, he uses the locomotive
during shipping season to move up to 70 hopper cars, each
filled with approximately 110 tons of limestone aggregate,
at the Kent yard.
