Set amidst a snowy backdrop—complete with all of the sights and sounds of Christmas including carolers, decorations, giveaways and many more surprises in each of the 40 cities—the Train Tour is being launched with HP on board as the title and technology sponsor and driven by Amtrak. This family event is for guests of all ages and is free to the public."

OK, the rest of the images are now online...

The train arrived yesterday and we hear there was a 2 hour wait to tour the train and and view a small part of the movie. When we got down to the station today it was already a 3 hour wait and we choose not to get in line. We did however took the time to get several shots of the train from the edge of the station fence line which is a close as one can get unless you stood in line.

The engines are Amtrak GE P42DC's, #157 and #71. I don't know what the cars are...

Looking at the consist, it appears one of the cars is a 70' baggage, one is a Budd-built Pullman (the secondary letterboards at each flank are what I make that assessment on), and one car is a Budd-built non-revenue unit (no entry vestibule).

And the one at the end is probably an office car.

If anyone determines exactly what cars were used please let me know and I will update my website accordingly.
