There is something everyone should see in the Santa Ana station at this time of year.
Pacific Surfliner 763 departing on this very clear and windy morning with the Santa Ana winds blowing hard. A few of the departing passengers might have seen it but no one else aboard that train had any idea of what is inside the station where Amtrak sells their tickets.
The Norfolk Western J locomotive on the point of this passenger train that runs on this display. This is the 14th year that Gary, our fantastic head Amtrak agent, has this display together for everyone to see.
The cable cars going back and forth to their station. Life is everywhere on this display.
The car chases the police car in this unique scene.
Some of the buildings.
The working lighthouse stands watch over the entire display.
Children and parents play in this winter environment.
The ice skating rink.
More buildings highlight this scene.
Another display high up in the far corner.
Another building on a hill.
The scene and the far end of the display.
An ice hockey game is taken place in this display.
Some of the beautiful village buildings that make up this Christmas season display. I thanked Gary for letting me photograph his work then went outside into the windy environment to catch the first of a few trains today to pass 962,000.0 rail miles.
