I was able to upload yesterday's train pictures, so we have more trains today. there is a huge mountain side cloud passing south - when I first saw it, it seemed like mountains in the distance. But now it is starting to swing overhead, like real clouds. The weather forecast gives no indication of snow squalls for Grimsby,but this looks like it could be snow.
There's no CP Holiday train this year - not the Polar Express either this year. The CP Holiday Train first began in 1999, and has since brought a lit-up locomotive across Canada and the northern U.S. to raise money, collect food and draw attention to the needs of local food banks. CP says it is replacing its train with a virtual concert. It has raised more than $17.8 million and 4.8 million pounds of food.
There are many Polar Express Trains - The Grand Canyon, Adirondack, Napa Valley, and many more. What about Durango's?
"Because we care about your safety, this year, The Polar Express™Train Ride will look different in the following ways:
The train ride itself will be shorter and will be about 35 minutes in duration but the overall event duration will be longer.
The entire event will last a little over an hour.
The North Pole will be located on the back lot of the depot.
Santa will be seated at a distance from guests but will be available for socially distanced photos.
Hot Chocolate and cookies will be served at the end of the event but not on the train.
The first gift of the season (Christmas Bell) will be distributed at the end of the event.
The event dances will be performed outside on the platform or on a stage.
A conductor will lead the event in each car.
Some of the windows in each heated coach will be open to promote the circulation of air flow."
Read about it HERE. That would be amazing - to go through snow-covered mountains.
