Sinopse
Características

Four days before Christmas, 14-year-old Chris Ballentine leaves his parochial school with no intention of going home. Wrapped in a personal blanket of despair, he wanders through the historic village of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, and emerges on the opposite side of town, ending up at the rail yards. There, he treks upward to the 180-foot timbered Cresson Trestle. Deep in thought midway across the expanse, Chris is oblivious to an approaching Pittsburgh-bound freight train and is faced with two untenable options: being struck by the oncoming locomotive or leaping from the creosote bridge into the rocky chasm below. Within the shadows beneath the trestle are three kings of the road drawn to the area by the mesmerizing allure of the bright headlamps of passing trains. The mens willingness to follow that Light and to gather where the Light called them sets the scene for a wonderful Hollidaysburg Christmas miracle.
