Summary:Chris Cotty, a director of passenger service at the railroad and vice president of its historical society, envisions the railroad running novelty passenger trains on holidays. The railroad puts on similar events at other train stations, featuring Santa Claus appearances and train rides aboard locomotives from the 19th century. [Ed Kaminski] is married and has three children, all of whom participate in the renovation process. After watching the train station deteriorate since moving to Maywood four years ago, Kaminski believes he had no other choice. Kaminski, however, credited Councilman Thomas Richards for showing up on a recent Saturday and lending his support. Richards, a lifelong Maywood resident, said the building has sentimental value. He used to ride the train from Maywood to Hoboken on his way into New York.
