People in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, can enjoy a special Christmas train. It is very popular. It brings the Christmas feeling to the city.

The train is 400 meters long. It has many lights on it. It has 14 cabins. 600 people can travel by this train at one time.

Santa Claus and other Christmas people greet passengers at the train station. People take pictures with them. Then, the train starts to move through the city. Santa Claus walks through the train. His helpers and he give gifts to children.

The train runs all of December. People come to see it every evening. They watch the lights. They are happy. Tourists love the train, too.

Difficult words: cabin (a smaller part of a train or ship where people stay), greet (to say hello), passenger (a person who travels by car, bus, train, and so on, and he is not the driver or pilot).
