Video: All aboard the Holiday Train

Every Saturday in December before Christmas, the Alaska Railroad ushers in the spirit of the season with round-trip rides from Anchorage to Indian on the Holiday Train. Joining the merry hundreds on board this year are holiday carolers, a magician, balloon twisters and, of course, Santa Claus. Additionally, the Alaska Railroad offers snacks, a coloring contest and door prizes. Unfortunately, the remaining four planned excursions are all sold out. If you didn't make the trip last weekend and you don't have tickets, perhaps this video of the season's first two tours will provide a glimpse of the experience. And it could serve as a preview for next year!
