Thursday night was the opening run of the Santa Claus Express run by the Midland Railway Historical Association.
Among the many entertainments on the Thursday night runs this season is Christmas Caroling by Carolers of Note.
The train has a two and a half hour run up and down the tracks, and each of the cars gets to experience the carolers, along with other seasonal entertainments and refreshments.
Today’s post includes pictures and a couple of video clips from the night’s maiden run.
