| Description |
That's right, even ol' St. NIck has to take on a side gig to get by today! On our first night in Williams we were out for a walk when we saw the train coming into town. We went to the station with the hopes of getting some sort of shot and this is one that I got. Evidently during the Winter months they have a special run they call the "Polar Express", named after the childrens book. It's a trip to the "North Pole" that gives kids a chance to meet Santa and experience the magic of Christmas. I believe that there's also a reading of the story as the train chugs toward it's destination. According to Niccy (who was inside our car and listened to what the tour guide had to say) they make 2 runs a day through the season which starts in mid November and runs through the end of December. The average passenger load for each trip is 1000 souls so if you do the math you'll see it's a pretty profitable operation! I got a glimpse of this fellow who was a tour guide on one of the other cars (not ours). I don't know for sure but just by looking at him I can guess what part he plays on the "Polar Express". If you've got kids (grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc) and you're interested: www.thetrain.com/events/polar-express/ |
