Geneva station is a busy place, as crowds gather for a Santa Claus train.

Editor's note: I was particularly impressed with the way Metra managed the Santa Claus train. The children and their traveling companions were directed to the rear (powered) end of the train. Traveling in the lead {cab-coach) end, we were comfortably unaware of the activities at the other end of the train. -had December 1999.
