Journalist Tom Langdon is disillusioned and has to travel to Los Angeles in time for Christmas from Washington, D.C. Driven to take the train, he sets off on a voyage filled with harsh awakenings, exhilarating exploits, and festive enchantment. He is unaware that the locomotives carrying him across America would lead him into the unforgiving landscape of his own heart, where he will rediscover the fundamental decency of people and someone very particular that he thought he had lost.
The Christmas Train is full of endearing individuals who have packed their suitcases with equal parts wisdom and fun. It also demonstrates how, particularly during this miraculous season, we are given second opportunities to realize our greatest aspirations.
