As the Polar Express approached Flat Top Tunnel the face of the tunnel came alive with a red glow!

Almost by accident I came across this cool effect that reminded me of the movie scene.

Well I don’t know how he did it, but I used duct tape and a string of led lights. Oh yeah, mine was orange !

Well, as I mentioned, this came about by accident. The red glow is actually from the Polar Express observation car on the other side of the tunnel. As the train went through I noticed the effect. So I sent the locomotive around to the entrance to the tunnel and took the shot. Perhaps I will look to make a more permanent effect, but sometimes things just happen.
