We had a great turn out of guests, with our two-night total nearing 500 people who came out to enjoy the train ride, check out the decorations, have a hot chocolate, and perhaps even visit with Santa! The trains never stopped rolling as the guests just kept coming!<\/p>\n<p>Without the help of the following volunteers, none of this could have happened. Volunteers Ron Roach, John McDowell, Diana Garrison, Teia Brown, Demitris Brown, Micheal Brown, Jackie Anzlovar, Justin Cesar, Colin Mellin, Reid Adams, Polly Cotton, Dannis Hudson, Chris Fox, Bruce Davis and Paul Brown made sure our guests had an enjoyable time and a fun train ride.<\/p>\n<p>We had many first-time guests, and a number of folks who have made our Pueblo Express Christmas train rides an annual tradition. We really appreciate our guests, and hope that we can attract them back for another ride in 2024. Follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/pueblorailway.org\/blog\/\">blog<\/a> to get updates on our events next year!<\/p>\n<p>I have included a few pictures of Saturday night\u2019s event. That\u2019s when I had more time on the ground to actually take some pictures! Enjoy, as we prepare for our final train ride event on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Paul<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday and Saturday, December 15 and 16, the Museum presented their second weekend of our annual Christmas Train Rides on the Pueblo Express.
