Waiting for Santa's Express by hjbenson

Waiting for Santa's Express

The passenger train in Richland only runs as a tourist attraction at various times of the year. Today marks the beginning of the Santa's Express run; where Santa rides the train and talks to all the boys and girls.

Interesting! I was checking your exif info to see if you'd done a long exposure to get that effect, but everything else in the shot is so static, so it couldn't have been. I really like it!
November 27th, 2011  
@pwallis The train was moving, so I wasn't about to do a long exposure :)
November 27th, 2011  
Great capture Harry. I love that the lights are on.
November 27th, 2011

@pamfromcalgary Thank you Pam, I think the lights have to be on when the train is in motion.
