Emilio - so true! I photographed some of the abandoned tracks and railroad crossings leading to the old sugar "centrales". Jack Delano did an entire book on the P.R. train system.
+razrramonel4077 The entertainers for the shows travel with the train .. hence the reason there are sleeper cars at the back of the train... the freight cars hold equipment and generators for the train lights :)
+Shouldyoubebaptized What a wonderful train for the children (and some grown-ups) by the sound of it - nothing at all like that in the UK - they even struggle to put up a 'Merry Xmas' sign inside some of the stations. Some of the 'Preserved Lines' run what they call 'Santa Specials' at weekends just before Christmas in the evenings. I have never seen one so I don't know if, (or how) the trains are decorated but I am sure it is nothing compared to that CP train. It consists of a trip up the line (usually about 10 to 20 miles and back) during which time you are served an Xmas dinner and Santa comes round with presents for all the children. - Always very heavily booked, I don't know why some of the 'mainline' firms don't do it. Probably they wouldn't be able to justify the cost to their 'share holders'.
+retroolschool Jesus Christ said you are to be baptised in His name, yes and our we all having fun doing the joyful trains and things we get sooooo busy we don't have time to even think about Jesus Christ, now don't you all think if you are to busy that maybe, just maybe you shouldn't celebrate that for Jesus Christ, maybe you all could celebrate it for what it is a pagan holiday.🎅👿
WOW, wish they did that here in California, the only holiday light show we have is at the DEL MAR FAIRGROUNDS and they charge $15.00 per person in each car !
one of the large parks in Albany NY does the same thing and is 10$ for a child 4-12 and 20 for 12 and up. better to just put sweater on and walk through xd!!
I wished the UP or BNSF here in the states would do something like this but it doesnt add to the Bottom Line, and Im sure the liars for Hire would put the stop to it anyway. Miss the Good Ole days and im not that old ha ha
I was at the one in Toronto and those the engineer told me those ECO locomotives suck at pulling anything heavy like this holiday train and that they should go back to the 4400CW's.
It could go for a whole month or whatever it takes to see st night but run through Canada I’m sure ther would be people to see it at Xmas time happy holidays or merry Xmas and happy new year all
