How many of your local towns or cities have a Santa Train, Holiday Train, or Christmas Train? Our Prairie Dog Central has a Santa Train which runs 3 or 4 times in December, and also near Winnipeg, we have a minature railway called the Assiniboine Valley Railway which has decorations and Christmas ornaments set up. I hope to go to that may'be even this week.

The prairie dog central!!! Hey do you know a guy by the name of skip.

But yes, In Duluth at the North Shore Scenic railroad we have the Polar express. Quite a good ride if you ask me.

Happy railroading

P.S. The guy ran the locomotive Simulator when he was in Duluth this past summer.

Don't know him personally, but i know he's a CPR Engineer by trade, and one of the active volunteers of the PDC. I've seen him on the "Manitoba Moments" series which was about the PDC.
