Take a Trip on the Polar Express

Thousands of people left New Hampshire this month on a train for the North Pole.

They came from as far as the West Coast and as near as North Conway for an annual journey that brings life to the classic Christmas story, The Polar Express.

Dressed in their pajamas, travelers get to experience the entire journey, right down to the sweetest details.

New Hampshire Public Radio Correspondent Shannon Mullen joined hundreds of children of all ages on one of this year's final trips to visit Santa.

She sent us this audio postcard.
