On November 6, Disney will release A Christmas Carol, a 3-D version of Dickens's classic. It looks similar in design to The Polar Express. To promote the film, a Disney train has been traveling around the country to different train stops offering lots of activities and a sneak peek at the movie - all for free! And Tuesday, October 6, the train will roll into the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth.

From 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., you can check out the train. SRM says that it should take 30-45 minutes to go through. The train is wheelchair accessible, so that means you can bring your stroller, too. Update: apparently this event has been huge in other locations, so be prepared for crowds or go early! Thanks, Debbie!

USA Today gives a preview of what to expect:
"•A digital gallery of the film's characters and their design evolution; each portrait will digitally change and show how they were created.
•Artifacts from the Charles Dickens Museum in London, including a first edition of the original novel and some of the author's personal writing paraphernalia.
•A display of performance-capture technology, in which the real actors' movements and expressions are recorded and digitized, then used for animated renderings.
•Interactive games, including a face-morphing photo booth that will blend the visitor's visage with Scrooge's.
The fantasy will extend beyond the train cars, with the holiday spirit re-created with decorations, local carolers and even artificial snow. And in the parking lot: a portable theater to show early footage."
