The Polar Express movie turns 22 this year and has become a holiday favorite for families.  The movie has also become a live action event for heritage railroads across the country. Only 38 heritage railroads are licensed to present the Polar Express story and the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad is one, according to director Wes Heinz…

“Warner Brothers started to license this to different heritage railroads and what we do is we recreate that movie in live action on board our train. And what a privilege it is that Western Maryland Scenic is able to do that in this area of the country.’
