Polar Express

This one is for Ian @fishers as he took a picture of the Clun Castle in York on 2nd December and I thought he might like to see it again in its current role as the Polar Express.
We went to Solihull today from Birmingham Moor Street for Xmas shopping and timed our trip back to catch a look at this.
The Polar Express trips run 4 times a day between Moor Street and Droitwich and the children are given a golden ticket and Santa visits them on the train.

Thank you Pat, a nice shot, with the locomotive in a station setting with some nice traditional features - including the platform awning, old style lamps and platform sign. Fav!

Steam trains make such nostalgic images. This sounds very special, especially for children. I remember steam trains for real...........

Beautiful train and shot. Ian will definitely love to see it from your end.

Well done.

Love to see these trains, with steam everywhere. I used to walk to school in the Sixties across a bridge that steam trains passed under, a vivid memory even sixty years on.

[John Falconer]

Santa always goes by steam train. Great shot.
