I tried to get tickets for this, but it was sold out. Thank you, procrastination habit!

SphericalTime: Is the kid at the end of TFA saying that meeting Santa was fun, or that the train being derailed was fun?

For a six year old boy? Definitely the train wreck.

Pretty much like the death train in that horrible movie. I don't know why they called it "Polar Express".. the movie should have been called "The Train from Hell".

Let me guess....
.... on the CN or CSX?

DNRTFA

FTFA: "The train had traveled about a quarter mile from the Utica station when it derailed, Hartnett said - too far to walk back in the dark. Santa visited the train while the occupants waited for the buses and met with the children."

A quarter mile is too far to walk?? Jesus Christ, America, man the fark up, fat asses!

/these kids today

Damn you, Sarah Palin

But the staff were amazing! Everything is amayyy-zing! Say it like this: ameeezeeen!

/you're so ameezeen!

I hear it jumped the track near Uncanny Valley...

wow, just took the kids on this last night up in North Conway, NH and was asking my wife how many other states have a similar gig. guess there was at least one more (and now one less! bwaahahahaha!!)

It was that kid with the annoying voice and glasses and who rambles about the stupidest of things, wasn't it?!

More than 300 passengers were on the train, but only one person was hurt, with a "minor, minor injury,"

If this is what you call , what tag do you use for being chased by a leopard, or being stuck on the second floor of a house fire, or being locked in a prison cell with a large, angry sex offender?

"minor, minor injury,"

This is how emergency workers say "a kid with a minor injury"?

As someone who has tickets on the Polar Express out of Bryson City on Xmas Eve........

Hope we don't fall into the river.

I expect as much from Utica, NY's armpit.

Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad does one in Cleveland.

The NO YOU CAN'T HAVE SANTA, NOT YOURS tag was busy fighting the War On Christmas.

Besides, it was a scary, scary bruise someone suffered to their upper arm.

I bet the kids on that train will always think of that as the "best" Train ride before Christmas Evar!"

1. Ride on a Train
2. Get to see Santa
3. Get to see Firemen, Firetrucks, Police, Policemen
4. Get to ride a bus that isn't a school bus
5. Get your parents and grownups all shook up, when nothing really happened

In 20 years, you will probably see a Christmas special about the Great Christmas Train wreck with many more embellishments. Meanwhile, next years ride will be a real bore to them.
