One of my favorite non-train railfan photos was this shot taken of Denver Union Station lit up for Christmas. We are going to take the ski train in two days, and took a stroll by the station on the way to a restuarant. The word magical came to mind.

Anyone ever had one of this moments, when you sort of felt like you were walking inside a model railroad… but it was real?
