Joe- How cool is that! It looks wonderful, I bet the photos do not do it justice! There is no way to show how awesome all those lights must look and feel like! Katerina

Nestor & KAterina - You are right. The pictures do not do it justice at all. This really is something you have to see for yourself. I will try to get some better ones when I take the kids there this year.

Thanks for posting this Joe, I was not aware of it and it looks like fun! My little one is sure to enjoy it!

Joe, This would be a joy to visit! I didn't know there was such a thing as this. On 12/7 at 6:15, how long would it be there once it stopped by? Dave

Dave - The train usually stays for about 20-30 minutes. It does run all over the Southland Cities. Check the link on the blog and it will take you to the flyer with all the scheduled stops.

We have the Christmas ships every year, but this is kinda cool! My son would love something like this! One time he got to be standing about 10 feet from a train when it went by and I don't think his eyes could have gotten wider than when the conductor blew his horn as he passed with that smile on his face waiving at my son, who was waving back.

Joe,

My bad. I missed the link. Thanks!
