An apples-to-oranges comparison.

The train I was referring to (see photo) allowed families to show up at the stations and see an entertaining show and a neat-looking train decked out in colorful lights. It was similar to what CPKC currently operates.

It was FREE although people were encouraged to contribute a toy to a Toys-for-Tots campaign.

The train you're talking about is quite a bit different. It gives people a train ride where they see Santa Claus and everyone is expected to BUY a ticket.
