Railtown Polar Express 2021
Sierra Railway Locomotive 28 pulls one of the last departures of the Polar Express in Jamestown, California. Here it's rounding the curve on its approach towards Seco Street crossing. Radiation fog rises from the ground as the sun is setting in the west just two days away from the 2021 winter solstice.
The Polar Express is a film that follows a young, cynical boy who finds himself struggling to believe in Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, a large train comes charging through his small town, stopping in front of his house. Strangely, no one else in his household is awoken by the loud train. The conductor tells him the train is called The Polar Express, and it is on its way to the North Pole where everyone aboard will get to see Santa Claus. Initially, the boy is doubtful and doesn’t get on the train, yet he jumps on once it starts pulling away. Throughout the train ride, he is determined to find out if there really is a Santa Claus.
Like many things in this world, the Polar Express is only as real as someone believes it to be.
