Bring Your Camera and Take
a Picture with Santa
Santa Rides the Rails for Photos on the Train
(Albuquerque,
NM –
December 8, 2009)- The next
two Saturdays - December 12th and 19th -
people will get a chance to have their child’s photo taken with
Santa Claus aboard the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. Santa will
begin his journey at the Downtown Albuquerque Rail Runner station
when he boards the 9:46 a.m. train heading south to Belen. Once he
arrives in Belen, he will hop on the 10:48 a.m. train heading north
and arriving at the Santa Fe Depot at 1:06 in the afternoon. At 1:20
p.m., Santa will leave Santa Fe and take the Rail Runner all the way
back to Belen and then catch the 3:58 p.m. train to finish his day
right back where he started in Downtown Albuquerque.

“This year we’re expanding the whole
Santa-on-the-train experience”, says Dewey
Cave, Interim Executive Director of the
Mid-Region Council of Governments. “Instead of having a train parked
at just one location, Santa will actually be riding the Rail Runner
all day and visiting each train car to have his picture taken with
kids. People have really come to embrace this holiday tradition.”
