The Polar Express steams into Portland, Maine

This is the coolest, the coolest video! I absolutely loved it - seeing that train was fantastic. Your footage, as always was spectacular and clear. Wondered what the Chefs were serving at 4:46? Hot Toddies I hope! Also, it almost looked at the end like it was heading into Hallowell? Great job - liked and favorited of course!!

@jenf777 - Thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful comments! The chefs were serving hot chocolate; they were recreating a scene from the book/movie "The Polar Express". At the end of the video, the train is heading toward the old Back Cove railroad bridge, which used to carry the Grand Trunk Railroad into the old port. The B&M Baked Bean factory is on the other side of the bridge.

Wow. Great job on the video my friend! Put this on NERFS if you can. I'm sure it will do well there. One of your videos was actually selected as the November video of the month on there. I think it was for November anyway....

Wow, those coaches look GOOD! Better than they have since Atwood started EDAville. ;)

If any of you have problems getting this video to load or play properly, please try the following. If you have a fast computer and fast internet connection, switch the video mode to 720p. If you have an older computer or a not-so-fast internet connection, switch the video mode to 360p. The 480p mode is glitchy and may or may not work properly. This is a YouTube problem that I have no control over.

wow! looks like they had a great turn out. I'm not sure i've ever seen a train that long or full at the MNGRR! Very nice video! Glad to see them getting some good ridership.
