Description of Pictures: Two visits:
- I arrived just as they were inflating the theatre structure. The 3D previews would be shown inside starting the next day. I tried to see the outside of the train but building security nailed me before I got close enough.
- The train was open for visitation! They were also showing a 3-D movie preview but you couldn't take pictures of that.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. TRAINT_090928_221.JPG: They had to move the inflated structure about six feet back to make it fit the space.
2. TRAINT_090929_063.JPG: Writing Quill: Dickens was a prolific writer and hand wrote all of his literary work as well as thousands of letters. For most of his career, he used quill pens, made from goose feathers. On display is one of his original quill pens and one of his inkwells which he used later in his life.
3. TRAINT_090929_075.JPG: Two hand-written pages of Nicholas Nickleby, Dickens's third major novel. In most of his books, Charles Dickens deals with specific social or political ills, and in the case of Nicholas Nickleby he wrote about the poor treatment of children in certain boarding schools in the north of England, which led to the closure of these schools. At that point in his life -- years before he wrote A Christmas Carol -- Dickens realized that he could use his pen to improve the lives of his contemporaries. Christmas Chapter of The Pickwick Papers: Before Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, he experimented with short Christmas narratives, notably in the Christmas chapter of his first international "blockbuster" novel, The Pickwick Papers. The monthly installment shown here is one of twenty monthly installments of this novel.
4. TRAINT_090929_091.JPG: Portrait of Charles Dickens from the Victorian Period: Dicken's trade-mark beard features prominently in this painting, but in fact his appearance at the time of writing A Christmas Carol was strikingly different -- only 31 years old in 1843, the author of A Christmas Carol was clean-shaven with long hair and impeccably dressed for his age.
5. TRAINT_090929_125.JPG: Presentation copy of American Notes for General Circulation: American Notes for General Circulation is a travelogue by Charles Dickens detailing his trip to North America in 1842 from January to June of that year. He traveled mainly around the East Coast and Great Lakes area through the United States and Canada, primarily by steamship, but also by rail and coach. His travelogue served as a critical observation of the cities he visited in North America. Dickens gave this signed copy to his American friend and fellow-traveler George W. Putnam.
6. TRAINT_090929_130.JPG: Dickens's Second Visit to America: In 1867, Dickens spent Christmas in America during his second and last visit. It was during this time that the Christmas story No Thoroughfare, written jointly by Dickens and his friend Wilkie Collins, was published in England. On display are original copies of this story. Dickens wrote a lot about railways as shown in this letter written when he was in Springfield, Mass.
7. TRAINT_090929_148.JPG: Two of Charles Dickens's letters written during his first visit to America: Dickens first travelled to America in 1842 together with his wife Catherine. In his many letters written during his visit he told his correspondents in England about his experiences in America. This letter is to his artist friend Daniel Maclise in which he wrote about travelling by railway departing from Baltimore. In the other letter on the far right, he wrote of his home-sickness and yearning for 'Home, three thousand miles away' during his stay in New York.
8. TRAINT_090929_190.JPG: The Christmas Stories: From 1850 onwards Dickens edited a new weekly magazine for readers of all ages and backgrounds, called Household Words. After he had ceased writing the series of Christmas Books in 1847, he decided to write much shorter Christmas Stories as part of the new magazine. Here is a collection of the Christmas Stories which appeared as special 'numbers' every December.
9. TRAINT_090929_201.JPG: Early Adaptations of A Christmas Carol: Adaptations of popular books were common in the Victorian period and A Christmas Carol was no exception. On display are just a few of the dramatic adaptations of the book.
10. TRAINT_090929_430.JPG: Motion-capture suit
11. TRAINT_090929_585.JPG: My face morphed onto Scrooge's. You can see the original choices on the left.

2009 photos: Overnight trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
