Santa Train 2009 is out!

I saw the Santa Express cruise past. It was southbound at Armitage on the local tracks. Consist was as expected, a flat with a sleigh bracketed by 3200's. No santa, maybe a test run? Oddest part was the rollsign with destination as "Santa Express". Also, the red marker lights were exchanged for flashing red/grn LED. I would've got pictures, but I forgot about the digital camera in my pocket...

Here's a movie clip of the 2006 holiday train, same consist pretty much as this year's train. It's neat too, i wish they'd do it here in Boston....

Thanks for the praise on the video.....msibnsf is my other internet name..









That last close up shot of the 2008 edition of Santa's sleigh which includes a control board with toggles for "Santa light", "Lights", an intercom headset, and a red "Emergency Stop"...what else could a Santa need? Oh yes, there's a heater with switch.
