1000’s of spectators lined up alongside the tracks of a number of Caltrain stations on the Peninsula over the weekend to witness the festive Vacation Practice on its southbound journey.
The practice was decked out in brilliant, colourful lights that twinkled towards the boring, silver metallic of the automobiles. Youngsters erupted in cheers as they had been greeted by Santa Claus waving from the practice.
The practice set off Saturday from San Francisco, stopping at San Mateo, Redwood Metropolis, Mountain View and Santa Clara stations. Nonetheless, the route didn’t go completely easily.

“A grinch caused some delays but we’re on the way now,” Caltrain mentioned in an replace on the social media web site X.
