CommentsAlaska Airlines has painted several of its 737s in Disney paint schemes. Now Amtrak is getting in the act to promote a new Disney version of a wintertime classic.
Disney has chartered an Amtrak train and painted its engine and cars like an English town at Christmas complete with the characters from its new movie “A Christmas Carol.” The train began a nationwide tour promoting the film on Memorial Day in Los Angeles. It visits Seattle this week for the three-day Independence Day holiday.
The train will visit Seattle’s King Street Station on Friday through Sunday for free public viewings. The train features sneak previews of the film, which stars Jim Carrey; movie-making exhibits; and background information about the story.
No word on when the train will pass through Tacoma along the BNSF tracks that skirt the waterfront and Puget Sound.
In Seattle, the train will be open Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. King Street Station is adjacent to Qwest Field at 303 S. Jackson St.
