This photo was taken by me while we were waiting for the professional photographer for my friend's wedding to arrive. I heard Puffing Billy in the distance just as we arrived at the bridge (Belgrave - Gembrook Road) and my friend asked me to take a photo of him and his best man as the train rolls by.
Even though this was taken 10 days before Christmas Day (2001) I was surprised to see all the Santa's on the train !! That's what I found exciting about this pic. You often see people leaning out of the carriages, but I have never seen Santas doing so!
