Jim, I'm sure the 700 crew was upset by this, and that they did everything they could to make it happen. I totally understand, stuff happens, and it was nobody's fault. So, no slight intended to the 700 group "circumstances beyond our control" and all that. :)
My only question was why they didn't take Santa (who was presumably waiting in his red suit for 700's departure) drive him over to the station and then either have one of the BNSF engines from Vancouver yard pull into the station with him on board, or even simply have him arrive by taxicab and great his fans at the station.
Sure, not nearly as impressive as showing up by steam train, but at least he'd still have arrived.
